Not threatened by weekend Crappie tournament



2023-05-13 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
All the Crappie in Green River lake were probably hiding from fishing tournament participants this weekend. The less desirable Carp, on the other hand, not threatened by anglers, did what they always do, gathering by the machine where humans buy food and drop it in the water. They hover near the surface with mouths open. Occasionally when there’s no more food, they’ll nibble on a foot dangling in the water from the dock, or on a duck's foot paddling nearby, making them scatter.

Remembering our Moms

By Linda Waggener

My high school friend Lanny Nunn shared on this Mother's Day weekend that he'd love to go back and have a good long talk with his Mom over an ice cold Coke and a piece of pie.

It prompted me to wish for a moment with Mom at the start of a new day at the table beside her enjoying a cup of bold, black coffee and a hot buttered biscuit. Sweet memories.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone raising children!

Kentucky Color: Wow! Nominees for CM's Top Ten Pics of 2023

By Billy Joe Fudge

There are so many great pics on CM and I want to pass on my appreciation for two of them.

All of Robert Ellis' pics are treasures, but Yant Flat is "flush" with color, contrast, lines, layering and depth! I have visited it several times and each time is a time of discovery.

Travel: Candy Cliffs (Yant Flat)

Then there is the Paw-paw bloom by Larry Clark. It is so very unique in form and vibrant in color. It is absolutely "dripping" with life and inspiration.

Carol Perkins: Hello, Are You There?

Previous Column: Mother's Day

By Carol Perkins

I rested my head and pushed the button on the massage chair. My feet were soaking in the warm water, and I was relaxed. The pedicurist brought her tools and sat before me, giving me instructions on which foot first and double-checking the color. I closed my eyes again.

"Where are you?" she asked. I thought she was asking where I lived, so I said, "Edmonton." She then said, "What are you doing?" I opened my eyes and thought that one of us must not be hearing correctly.
