Sunlight backlights flowers just right when sun & rain combine 2016-09-29 - Cane Valley, Adair County, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis (c). Took this picture Tuesday night when it was raining and sunshine combined.

Remember the ACHS 'Walkout' ? 2016-09-29 - Columbia, KY - Photo from the Sheila Grant Neat. In the memorabilia photo(s) from the ACHS Class of 1972 reunion held in Gradyville, KY on September 24, 2016, there was the clipping, above.

But the bigger mystery is the 'walkout.' - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
