Kentucky Color: New Friend 2021-12-02 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. By Billy Joe Fudge The really great thing about traipsing over hill and dell in the Great Wooded South is the new friends you can make. While taking a break from cruising timber on the north slope of the Leatherwood Creek watershed, this young male bovine walked right up close to introduce himself. I said, "Hey big boy, what you doing?" He replied by continuing to chew his cud in the most calm and collected manner. For quite a spell we continued the conversation with non-verbal glances and benign, physical posturing. Finally I stood and explained that I had a prior appointment and would have to depart. He seemed to understand. As I departed, I turned to see him with half his harem following at a distance as if they were wishing me safe travels. I'll be back in his neighborhood on Friday. I hope he stops by for a chat. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Signs lining up for a severe winter 2021-12-02 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Billy Rowe. If all the signs that nature gives us about winter come true, this season could be the worst one most of us have ever seen. By far the biggest mast crop I have ever seen - persimmons have nothing but spoons in them, animal coats are extra thick, and the real evidence for you to see with your own eyes is this wooly worm I spotted that is almost 3 inches long, 3/4 inches wide and black as the ace of spades. Hold on folks it could be a long and wild ride before it is over. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
