Historic Vehicle

2010-08-09T07:27:00.000-07:00

The idea that a Trans Am is a historic vehicle makes me feel rather old.

Well, it didn't turn out at all, but we told him we'd post it, and here it is, finally. That's the police chief in there. Thanks, Steve, for all you do for our little town.

2009-09-11T04:30:00.000-07:00

Turns out that even once a week was too ambitious. Sorry, folks. Will try harder.

Poetry Night

2009-06-04T06:46:00.000-07:00

We had Poetry Night down at the creek on Sunday.

Yes, I know, more like Wilmore Weekly Photo than Daily. Perhaps I should rename it ...

Oh, and Maria took the photo. I didn't.

Wedding

2009-05-27T02:27:00.000-07:00

Wedding in Nicholasville, KY, on Sunday.

Happy Memorial Day!

Blue

2009-05-25T03:51:00.000-07:00

This building is right on Gratz Park, downtown Lexington. I love the color of the house, and of the sky.

Transylvania

2009-05-24T03:49:00.000-07:00

People not from here seem to get a snicker out of the fact that we have a Transylvania University. It's been around a while, and has nothing to do with Bram Stoker or Dracula. :)

Public Library

2009-05-23T04:46:00.000-07:00

This building is the original Lexington Public Library, from 1905 to 1989.

Gratz Park

2009-05-22T04:44:00.000-07:00

This beautiful statue is in Gratz Park, which is next to Transylvania University, downtown Lexington. Strange that I've never even seen this park before. We went there a few weeks ago for the art festival that is held there every spring.

Path to Paradise

2009-05-21T07:42:00.000-07:00

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. Trying to get back on track here ...

Spring is here, and the path down to the creek is once again beckoning me.

Tank

2009-03-08T07:03:00.001-07:00

I've probably posted pictures of this before. This is the tank in Veterans' Park, Lexington

Bird House

2009-03-02T01:08:00.000-08:00

A bird house in a tree a few houses down the road.

Stump

2009-03-01T01:07:00.000-08:00

There's way too many of these around, as a result of the storm a few weeks ago. So many trees were damaged that a lot of people are just cutting down all of their trees. Very sad.

Taxi

2009-02-28T13:04:00.000-08:00

There are hardly any taxis in this area. Whether that's because everybody has a car, or because nobody visits here, I don't know. But it's very rare to see taxis. As it happens, there's a taxi driver who lives just down the road from us, so I see this one several times a week.

Pave the world

2009-02-26T04:08:00.001-08:00

The business behind my office has bulldozed yet another piece of their land. I'm not sure what they're planning to do with it. Apparently, neither are they, since they did this more than a week ago, and haven't shown any signs of doing anything more with it since then. And they haven't finished building the two buildings they're already working on.

Drivers, start your engines

Getting ready to race.

ICBM

2009-02-12T01:33:00.000-08:00

The ICBM won the most creative car award. Interestingly, most of the kids there didn't know what an ICBM is.

Canoe

2009-02-11T01:32:00.000-08:00

I particularly enjoy the creative pinewood derby entries.

Another cold seat

2009-02-02T04:33:00.001-08:00

Our little clearing down by the creek isn't a clearing any more. We're going to need to do a lot of work to make it one again.

Science Fair

2009-01-30T01:48:00.000-08:00

The Science Fair, at Picadome Elementary.

More Ice

2009-01-29T01:43:00.000-08:00

Pax Christi

Candles at Pax Christi Catholic Church in Lexington.

Artwork

2009-01-14T04:44:00.000-08:00

Artwork on the walls of Euro Wine Bar in downtown Nicholasville. The one on the far left is mine.

Tire swing

2009-01-13T04:33:00.000-08:00

There's a fabulous tree (and tire swing) in an open grassy area on Stone Road in Lexington. A new Montessori school is being built on that plot of land, and we feared the tree would be removed, so we went at the end of the summer and had a photo session there.

As it turns out, they fenced off the tree in order to preserve it during the construction process. I was so glad.

Fairy

2009-01-12T04:27:00.000-08:00

I think she looks an awful lot like a fairy, though I'm not sure she'd appreciate hearing that, or my saying it in a public forum.

We spent an afternoon at Waveland State Historic Site and got lots of interesting pictures.

Spiralling

2009-01-11T04:24:00.000-08:00

A spiral pole at the Wilmore Minipark on Gillispie Street.

Self portrait

2009-01-10T04:09:00.000-08:00

Ok, so it's not a picture of Wilmore, nor of the surrounding areas. It is, however, a picture of us *enjoying* the surrounding areas. We went driving one Saturday to explore the back roads of Jessamine county, and we got all sorts of fun pictures. This was one of my favorites.

The reservoir

2009-01-09T04:01:00.000-08:00

The reservoir on Asbury College campus. A favorite walking, sitting, laying in the sun spot during the summer, the sycamores are now bare, the water icy, the ground frozen.

Waterfall

2009-01-08T01:31:00.000-08:00

I like the effect you can get with a long exposure of a waterfall. This is (I think) the last photo from the Raven Run nature preserve. Tomorrow we'll have some other subject.

Barbed Wire

2009-01-07T01:31:00.000-08:00

This is all that's left of a barbed wire fence that, I presume, marked the edge of someone's farm a long time ago. The tree has formed itself to the fence, now long gone.

Snail

A snail on the trail at Raven Run nature preserve.

Tunnel Vision

2009-01-03T01:57:00.000-08:00

The view through a fence post. Raven Run.

Creek

2009-01-02T01:57:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure what creek it is that runs through Raven Run, but it is very beautiful, and we love listening to it.

And here's the other one. Nifty, hmm?

The rail yard of our Christmas train set.

Merry Christmas!

Last car

2008-12-24T03:00:00.000-08:00

Here's the last car I'll post from the Bourbon festival. They sure made beautify cars in the 30's.

Pink

2008-12-23T03:41:00.000-08:00

A pink Studebaker, at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.

Slide

2008-12-22T03:40:00.000-08:00

I think I posted one like this a month or two ago. Here's the boy going down the slide at the school picnic.

Trophy Case

2008-12-21T03:39:00.000-08:00

The trophy case in the Asbury College gymnasium.

Car and Sky

The chrome on a 57 Bel Aire, at the Highbride park.

Playground

2008-12-19T03:37:00.000-08:00

Yet another picture of the playground at Centennial Park, and a few kids on their way to play on it.

Cabin

2008-12-18T03:36:00.000-08:00

This little cabin sits on the grounds of Centennial Park, which is next to Ichthus grounds.

Tree and Field

2008-12-17T03:34:00.000-08:00

A tree on Morrison Street. There used to be a bunch of houses here, but they were torn down a couple years ago, and now this field sits empty.

Stairs

2008-12-16T03:33:00.000-08:00

Another shot of the stairs in the Country Charm Bed and Breakfast, in Paris.

Uncle Sam

2008-12-15T06:32:00.000-08:00

Now that winter is upon us with a vengeance, here's a little reminder of summer. Abe and Sam walking down the street of Wilmore after the parade on the Fourth of July.

Playground

2008-11-13T05:00:00.000-08:00

Wilmore Mini-Park. Dunno why they call it a "mini" park. When it was built, it included a jungle gym, a tunnel slide, a merry-go-round and swings.

2008-11-11T15:34:00.000-08:00

Insert clever remark here.

Siren

2008-10-31T08:19:00.000-07:00

These sirens are various places around town and are tested periodically, for use in emergencies. It used to be located right outside my dorm, and was tested on Saturday mornings. Usually while I was still asleep.

Sycamore

2008-10-30T01:15:00.000-07:00

A sycamore leaf on our picnic blanket, up by the Wilmore reservoir.

No Fishing

2008-10-29T01:11:00.000-07:00

No Fishing, No Swimming.

The reservoir at Asbury College is part of the city water system, so you're not supposed to fish or swim there.

Stained

2008-10-28T01:07:00.000-07:00

Stained glass window in Bardstown. Unfortunately, I forget what this building was named. It's where we had breakfast during the Bourbon Festival.

Wheeee!

2008-10-27T01:20:00.000-07:00

Another local business

2008-10-26T05:00:00.000-07:00

Euro is a wine bar located in downtown Nicholasville. It's very classy, as is the Wine Shop just south of it on Main Street.

2008-10-25T05:00:00.001-07:00

Today is Rich's birthday. Since I don't have a picture of a Strongbow or Fuller's ESB, Schneider Weisse at the Pub will have to do. Happy birthday, Beloved.

Paris in my window...

2008-10-24T05:00:00.000-07:00

An interesting view of downtown Paris, KY on the outskirts of Lexington.

Local Businesses

2008-10-23T05:00:00.000-07:00

One of our favorite locations during the spring and summer, Chrisman Mill Vineyards.

Wildlife

2008-10-22T08:01:00.000-07:00

These little critters took up residence in our home last spring. We had them removed, but they may be back.

Fall

2008-10-21T09:29:00.001-07:00

Fall is here.

Flowers

2008-10-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

As I've probably mentioned before, I'm not much for identifying flowers. Sorry.

Continental

2008-10-14T05:22:00.000-07:00

Lincoln Continental, with the Whiskey City Cruisers exhibition at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.

Harleys

2008-10-13T17:02:00.000-07:00

A row of Harleys at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival

BOOM!!

2008-10-10T02:00:00.000-07:00

These guys brought their cannon to the Boy Scout campout, and fired it at the flag raising in the morning.

STOP!!!

2008-10-09T06:12:00.000-07:00

They're trying to tell us something here... if only they would just come out and SAY it.

There was a pretty good drop off just the other side of that railing. I have to assume, from the number of stop signs in this particular spot, that they've had problems with people thinking the signs were just a suggestion.

Happy Horseman

2008-10-08T05:56:00.000-07:00

We must have passed this guy 5 times. Every time, I tried to get a picture. This is the only one that turned out anywhere near sharable. By the time I snapped this one, he had come to expect I was going to try to get a picture of him, and he waved and smiled for the camera.

Reading by the Reservoir.

2008-10-07T01:10:00.000-07:00

Eagle

2008-10-05T01:00:00.000-07:00

The Asbury Eagle, located just inside the entrance at the George E. Luce Physical Activities Center, or, as we called it in college, the GELPAC.

Lawnmowers

2008-10-04T01:10:00.000-07:00

I already miss the summer. Here's another picture of the Wilmore Precision Lawnmower Marching Brigade.
