Scenic Adair County, KY: A fleeting Adair County moment 2017-12-26 - L. Hancock Road, Near Vester, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. This is a photo of reflections on the surface of a pond on L. Hancock Road at Sulphur Creek. It was flipped in processing. It was taken from what is the top of the frame, on a grassy verge. But it was fun to leave it this way, with what looks to be a little snow on a flood wall or dike, which might be a good idea. Paired photo tells more. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mystery 76534: Where in the World is This? It's in plain sight 2017-12-26 - Somewhere in CM 7-County area - Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell or Taylor Counties, KY - Photo Linda Waggener. On one of our trips, Linda discovered this and photographed it. Looking at the picture, one would question whether it is a fair Mystery Photo. Not much for context. Nowadays, with the cameras they make, the photo might be a snake hole, the entrance to a huge cave system, a favorite scout camp out location, or a one time native American overlook. What makes it a fair photo is that perhaps hundreds (perhaps dozens or sevens) - of people pass by within some 20 feet of it, every day. If you know where it is, send your answer using the Contact Form with the photo. - EW/LW. Answers in order of receipt Glen Akin - Mystery 76534 1st answer.

Vultures gathering on Hwy 206, plotting the next meal 2017-12-26 - Liberty Road, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. We've been documenting the wealth of Mistletoe in Adair County, considering it as a holiday cash crop, and at a distant glance we thought this tree top on Liberty Road might have more. However, as we drove closer it became obvious the tree was headquarters for black vultures. In Columbiamagazine.com archives, many entries are featured on vultures troubling farmers in this area, clicking the link takes you to the stories and photos in our files. -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Julie and Floyd Burton enjoy after-Christmas breakfast 2017-12-26 - 5097 Liberty Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Floyd Burton and daughter Julie were out early for after-Christmas breakfast at Patty’s General Store & Deli on Liberty Road. Julie shared that her niece had given her some pretty earrings and matching necklace with her initials. Floyd took time to approve the country ham being served there and also the ham cooked by the Extension Agents at the Adair County Extension Office breakfast recently. He says he is a qualified judge because he is the "only certified HAMitologist in the area with a PHD (pile it high 'n deep)” degree. -- LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
