A beautiful day here in Kentucky! The Audubon Museum is one of a kind- a rich tapestry of nature's beauty through the eyes and drawings of Mr. Audubon. What a unique country we live in- full of mystery, sacrifice and adventure at every turn of the Ohio river!!!! #charlesgirion #noramadeja #cruise #audubon #america #wildlife #artist
