Signs of our times? 15 mph state highway? 2018-06-11 - South Main Street/KY 163, Edmonton, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Sign scene seen Sunday, June 10, 2018 -- approaching the Square from the South in Edmonton, KY, a sign has been erected reducing the speed limit to 15 mph.

On the left is Edmonton United Methodist, with one of the now thematic in Edmonton black steel fences. - ED WAGGENER Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Birds of KY: American Goldfinch brunching on Nodding Thistle 2018-06-11 - Along a CM 7-County Byway - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. An American Goldfinch was spotted brunching on Nodding Thistle along a byway in South Central KY. This little yellow bird had his back to the camera as he worked on feeding. Goldfinches share the food from nodding thistle - the bane of agriculturalists, and any human getting in too close contact with bumbly and honey bees - hummingbirds, and many other creatures. A prettier sight, and one not as controversial, is when little yellow finches gather by the hundreds to feast on the seeds of cornflower plants. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
