Bardstown Road

I visited Bardstown Road with my PhotoForum club to collect images for the Capture the Highlands Contest. I took a few that may work, but it was so hot and humid that I had a hard time being inspired.

Visit to the Fair

My husband and I visited the fair again today. I thought we were going to end up bringing home a bunny rabbit. My husband totally fell in love with a little gray bunny.


I enjoyed watching a little angora bunny. It reminded me of a Fraggle, ok, I know I just showed my age on that one!


My husband is a big softy when it comes to animals. He gets lost in the animal exhibits for hours. He loves the big brown eyed cows.


I really enjoyed the cake decorating and picked my favorite.

Junk Yard Treasures

Sometimes a well loved car needs a helping hand from her private mechanic. Fortunately we were able to find a suitable “organ donor” and after a lot of sweat and muscle, we were headed home with a replacement trailing arm for my Lumina, but hey! At least while I was there I found some beautiful things…ok, so I really wanted to bring home that 40’s model Plymouth front clip or the little MG or that Chevy in the back, but I did not come home with any yard art on this trip...next time we take a BIG TRUCK!
