Sunset Poetry 2024-01-04 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold. Veronica writes: This is the sunset January 3rd, 2024, in Fairplay. There is a poem that comes to mind when the sunset turns golden and pinkness seems to fill the very air around you. I always think of the first stanza of this poem! That fleeting light and pure delightful bright colored light... it is The Children's Hour! I copied the first stanza below for those not familiar with the poem, The Children's Hour, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day's occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Birds of Kentucky: Muscovy Duck 2024-01-03 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. All About Birds says of muscovies, "The strange, warty-faced Muscovy Duck causes confusion for some bird watchers, as it's very distinctive and quite commonly seen, yet does not appear in some field guides. Truly wild individuals are restricted to south Texas and points south, but domesticated versions occur in parks and farms across much of North America."

Veronica writes, "Big Boy Bob stands guard and watches over his little friend so she can lay down and take a nap in the sunshine. Hard not to look and go, 'Aww! so cute!'
