Frederick County, VA
After taking some pictures in Winchester, I decided to go up to Clear Brook Park to get some pictures of the lake. I had stopped at the park once, but had not walked out to the lake. The water level turned out to be low, like most of our rivers and lakes are right now. It’s been a fairly dry summer.
I saw this cute green frog. It did not move, so I was able to get closer. I modified his close-up in the Oilbrush app. The park has a number of amenities, including an old caboose.
The parking lot is surrounded by Rose of Sharon trees.
The Clear Brook community is still somewhat rural, although it’s proximity to I-81 has made it a trucking hub. There is a large Amazon Fulfillment Center.
The post office is still small.
When I got back to the veterinary to pick up Charlie from day boarding, I found one of the resident cats sleeping in the waiting room.
I’ll close with a picture of Charlie that I took today. He was quite pleased because he not only chased the ball and played with it, he brought it back and laid it near my feet. He is not a retriever breed so it has taken him a while to learn to bring the ball back.
Looks like a lovely place. Charlie and the cat are adorable!
