I was selected to be part of a subdivision with 38,000 people who enjoy life on 4,400 acres of rolling hills (1,200 acres of it are heavily treed common land). It's obvious these folks are tree lovers. The community property in our residential and commercial areas is beautifully manicured as well with lots of lovely trees. Every morning and early afternoon I enjoy watching the commuter buses to the Pentagon and Washington, DC go by. Lake Ridge is one of only three eastern Prince William subdivisions with commuter service in the community. It's nice to (38 comments)

lake ridge: Coming Soon In A Pond Near You - 03/09/11 07:49 AM
It's a little too early for this year's crop of "newbies" in the Canada Goose category. I snapped this picture last year at the Lake Ridge Park and Marina along the shores of our 2,100 acre Occoquan Reservoir. Actually, it isn't "our" reservoir - it belongs to the Fairfax County Water Authority. I can state unequivocally if we owned a 2,100 acre lake in Northern Virginia I wouldn't be sitting here writing this post.At the time I planned to take this photo Mom and the twins were near the "No Swimming" sign, but they had moved away by the time I (24 comments)

lake ridge: Phew!! I Was Afraid You Moved To Florida - 02/27/11 10:51 AM
Considering how cold it has been in Northern Virginia this winter I was afraid the Spring bulbs had left town. This small group of daffodil volunteers inhabit the heavily wooded common ground behind our Lake Ridge home. Of course, each year they do their "daffodil thing" and the group expands a little bit. They are our first indicator each year that winter is going to end as we know it will. However, it is nice to receive the confirmation. The green is a very welcome sight ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My Team has 34 years experience in Woodbridge, Dumfries, Manassas, Bristow, Gainesville, Haymarket Prince William County Experience (40 comments)

lake ridge: What A Wecome Sight On A Sunny Sunday In February - 02/06/11 02:37 PM
All across much of America we have had more winter than many of us bargained for except kids who enjoyed sledding instead of studying. When we went to church this morning it was a sunny and balmy 45°.Our church has a new building about 5 years old with a line of young cherry trees between the parking lot and church building. I was surprised and pleased to have it confirmed that the National Capital Area's famous cherry trees will be in full bloom again this year.Tourists gravitate to the Tidal Basin in DC for their view.

lake ridge: The Morning After - 01/30/11 08:52 AM
There are those who say, "Living in Lake Ridge is like living in the woods." Actually. it is living in the woods, all 1,200 acres of the heavily wooded common ground spread throughout the subdivision. It is 27% of the 4,400 acres that comprise Lake Ridge. We don't have an Atlantic Ocean view in the morning to catch the sunrise. This picture was snapped from our deck the morning after our most recent snowfall. If it was summertime the morning sunrise would have been blocked by leaves. Oh well, we'll just have to "learn to make do"

Yesterday I wrote a post entitled "I'm Ready Already" regarding the excessive cold weather we have had this winter in Lake Ridge and that I was ready for Spring blossoms now, not later, but now. I was at least pleased a lot of the severe snow storms on the Eastern Seaboard had literally gone around the DC area. As I said, "I Shoulda' Kept My Mouth Shut". When we awoke this morning it was evident our luck had run out. There must be a moral to this story, but I have no idea what it is - please help me (24 comments)

lake ridge: The Color Of Winter In Lake Ridge - 01/19/11 07:14 AM
Lake Ridge sits along the shore of the 2,100 acre Occoquan Reservoir. It is very unusual to see it frozen as hard over as wide an area as revealed in this photo. However, we have had temperatures in the 20°F range for the past two weeks or so.Yesterday I drove down to the boat launch ramp to see what effect it had on the Canada Geese. They were way offshore in a sunny section mid-reservoir that had not frozen.In either case, I took the first photo from the deck of the park concessions stand. When I got home and PhotoShop'd it (10 comments)
