They’re perfectly beautiful because of the Artist.
A lot of times it seems like Genuine Kentucky has to nap during the winter. Sure, I still add pictures and update as much as possible, but it’s nothing compared to the 24/7 excitement buzzing around the rest of the year.
What better way to celebrate the first day of Spring than with some pictures of Kentucky all dressed up for the season?!
“Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn!” – Lewis Grizzard
I hope you’ll get out there and enjoy as much of Kentucky as you possibly can – not just this spring but every day thereafter. We’re truly blessed with an amazingly beautiful state and should see as much of it as possible.
Woodlands Nature Station opened early this month, so you know where I was early this month…. where any other animal and bird-obsessed person would be – right there with the animals!
I have a lot of pictures my husband and I took to add to Genuine Kentucky tomorrow, but I wanted to go ahead and post this one today. I don’t know why, but there’s just something about this picture that I love. The contentment on the faces of these beautiful animals tells me that they were as joyful about feeling the sunshine on their faces as I was on mine.
The Nature Station, in the amazing Land Between the Lakes is one of my favorite places in the world – if you’ve never been, GO! If it’s been a while since you’ve visited them, GO AGAIN!
I’ll add the rest of the pictures tomorrow. If you follow (or even just visit) our Twitter account, @GenuineKentucky, you can see the other pictures and videos we took on this trip – as well as countless pictures from around our beautiful state.

My husband took the picture above for me to use as “Kentucky’s Picture of the Day” a few days ago as he drove through Webster County.
Hmmm, wondering if that’s his way of saying, “Put down the cookies long enough to update the blog, Cookie Monster!”
Well, it worked!
Charming little Onton is in Webster County and at least one of its residents knows how to celebrate Christmas right!
Wonder if he or she likes cookies too?
I hope your Holiday season is going beautifully. Enjoy every precious moment – these are the memories we’ll cherish in the years to come.
It’s unspeakably delicious and I could eat it every single day if I could.
We always like to get to the restaurant a little before they open to spend some time behind the restaurant. Geese, herons, ducks, turtles… you never know for sure what friends you’ll make – but the experience is always magical.
The stars of the show this time were gorgeous, graceful white herons. I say they were the “stars of the show,” but to be honest,I was so enraptured with them I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. There could have been a dinosaur beside me and I’d have never known.
If you’ve read other Genuine Kentucky “Kentucky Pictures of the Day,” you’ve probably seen that I am obsessed with reflection pictures. When trees, birds, animals, or even good old-fashioned human beings are reflected in water (or glass for that matter), my amateur photographer heart skips about a hundred beats.
It’s my thing, plain and simple.
These two beautiful birds were, however, most interested in fishing on the banks, so I had to wait quite a while.
I didn’t think Murphy’s Law was allowed at Kentucky Lake! Is nothing sacred?!?
Kentucky is such a beautiful state and affords us so many chances to have our breath taken away. Best of all, this is true spring, summer, fall, and winter – so get outside and enjoy the beauty that Kentucky and its wildlife and trees offer.
You never know what… or who… is waiting for you.
The pandemic has crushed many activities, events, and normalcy – not just in Kentucky, but all around the world. As we creep back toward normal, I want desperately to highlight any and all events going on around Kentucky. Please E-mail me any information you’d like shared about your Kentucky event! ~ Joi (“Joy”)
