Road Trippin’ in Northern Kentucky with the Pictures to Prove It

October 28, 2015 by Joi Sigers 2 Comments

Florence Y'all Tower in Florence, Kentucky

Florence Y’all!

We recently enjoyed a little Road Trippin’ in Northern Kentucky on a gorgeous rainy Autumn day. While you may not love rainy days like I do, let alone think of them as gorgeous, you’d have to agree than an Autumn day – especially in Kentucky – is the very definition of gorgeous.

I finally “snagged” the beloved Florence, Y’All tower with my phone. When you’re coming into Kentucky from the north, it’s always such a welcome sign – but, truth be told, I get a huge kick out of it from any vantage point.

Florence, Kentucky Wears Autumn Beautifully

The people in Northern Kentucky are as friendly as the welcoming tower in Florence is. We stopped in the Reality Tuesday Cafe in Park Hills and southern hospitality was waiting on us.

I had a Chai Tea Latte with a sleeve on the cup that was just as excited about Autumn as I am.

The Cafe was a cool, eclectic, and decidedly off-beat place. The kind you could envision spending hours in, relaxing, eating, and enjoying a nice hot drink. I think I’ll try an espresso on my next visit.

Get off the beaten path and see parts of Kentucky you’ve never seen before. You never know who you’ll meet, what you’ll see, or what cool little coffee shop you’ll wander into.

Visit Reality Tuesday on Twitter or Facebook – better yet, go see them in person.

Pics of the Day: Road Trippin’ in Kentucky!

Kentucky Road Tripping

Road Trippin’ in Kentucky

I’ve always (always, always, always…) been fascinated to the point of obsession with photography. I’ve never equipped myself with expensive cameras or whatnots because I’m really just a very basic kind of gal.

Translated: I don’t trust myself to be able to figure out all the techy stuff. My family can vouch for me – I do well to operate a cellphone.

I do, however, love to take pictures – especially of animals, my family, birds, trees, and every conceivable thing within the state borders of Kentucky.

My home state inspires me and blows me away even when it isn’t trying.

Something I’ve fallen in love with is what I call “Road Trippin’ in Kentucky.”  I take “bursts” of photographs as we drive down the road. Mind you, I never do this when I’M driving – only when I’m in the passenger seat.

When I get home and go through the MANY pictures, obviously, most of them can be deleted immediately – however, a lot of times, I’ll come away with pictures I love like the ones here.   When I saw the one that’s at the top, I thought, “Well, isn’t that the perfect symbol of Kentucky Road Trippin’?!”

Kentucky Image with Pickup Truck

Kentucky Picture – Taken Near Leitchfield 

The picture above just screams Kentucky to me. The beautiful scenery, my beloved trees, and the pickup truck that was generous enough to show up in just the right spot – they make my inner shutterbug shake with giddiness.

I was also especially fond of the one below. You know me and my trees – how could I not love this one? There is and always has been something about the sun (or moon, for that matter) shining through trees that puts me in a VERY peaceful place. Kind of a  mental forest!

I also love the cool light effects that’ll often show up when taking pictures from the road, like the one below. Some people would cast these pictures aside but I think they’re far too cool for that.
