We are happy to have found yet another unexplored park and one with wonderful water...Lake Brittle. I have been wondering where all the real lakes are in Virginia.We'd looked for this place before and never could find it. It's rather tucked away, and we needed the website directions to get there (not much signage). It was well worth it, and the drive is lovely...through sections of still preserved farmland and woods. What a breath of fresh, albeit hot, air! And I bet this place is gorgeous in the winter.
A sweet local boy shows us all how to catch crayfish and what frogs' eggs look like. 
We find a hurt bird on the trail and try to ease its passing.

It sounds like a few hours of paradise. I so love it when you can quietly wander through Mother Nature's own backyard, and the little ones are everywhere, welcoming you.....butterflies, dragonflies.....so glad you found this special place! Beautiful pics!
Thanks! We really enjoyed it and once the heat dies down here a little more, we intend to go back. Or at least I do! LOL I am sure the kids won't protest.
"Looking forward to going back to visit the butterflies"
Me, too, sweet girl, me too....
We will! I know we will. Once it gets a little cooler and body-friendly, I know we will be back there. Right now the heat has kept up inside or in the pool quite a bit. I am sure in GA you are used to this, but being from the North, I think my blood is more heat sensitive.
I am really needing some nature....
