Signs of Spring: Crossing Lindsey Wilson 2018-02-25 - Bridge over Town Creek, Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed waggener, CM Annelida photographer. Fearless crossing Lindsey Wilson Street, this lone lowly worm was one of not so many of it's ilk, making the trek. Everyone has wondered and theorized - I know I have - why earthworms are drawn to warm concrete and pavement after a rain. According to the article, www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/why-do-earthworms-surface-after-a-rain it's absolutely not because they will drown. The article discusses the urge to mate, to migrate, to avoid moles (but not greater threat of robins), a phenomenon known as swarming, and more. And if one wants to know about their parapoda locomotion and their OEM parts, that's in a Wikipedia article, Wiki/Annelid. For those who have OD'ed on Bizarre Foods and see these fishing worms as food, there are pro's and con's, encouragement and warnings, about earthworm consumption, raw or cooked, with the main concurrence being that the worms taste earthy. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

After the flood 24 Feb 2018: No strainer at Russell Creek Bridge 2018-02-25 - Russell Creek Bridge linking Campbellsville Street with Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. A bright spot in the overnight flooding, besides - so far - limited damage in Adair County, is that kayakers can rejoice: there was no strainer at the bridge, notorious for debris jamming the entire creek in most inundations. The creek did swell to more than twice it's usual width this time. Photo Sunday morning, February 25, 2018. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
