This is the lake that’s centrally located in our neighborhood. One would never guess that in the midst of suburbia, three miles from three grocery stores, several fast-food joints, and a handful of gas stations, there are 25 acres tucked away for the private use of those who are in the know.

Soup Is Not A Finger Food 
Wow, that’s not something you see every day in the DC suburbs. Was this taken recently? Are your trees really that far along in dropping leaves?
It’s a hidden gem for sure. Taken last winter, like Jan/Feb. If I ever get my camera back from repair, I might take some Fall photos!
This should be a sort of Wordless Weds. cause there were words, just sayin’ … neat shot .. a reminder winter is near
I know, I know… I’m not given to brevity.
Anybody know the difference between a lake and a pond? Area? Depth? The dictionary I used (couldn’t find anything on Google) said a lake was a body of water of considerable size, and that a pond was smaller than a lake. When does a lake stop being a lake and become a pond? Hmmmmmm?
A pond is shallower and has plants growing all the way across the bottom. This usually means a lake is larger in size but not necessarily. So a lake stops being a lake when plants can grow all the way across the bottom of the lake. At least this is what I remember from my freshwater ecology class in college.
Sarah, I’ve always wondered that… we call this a “lake” but it seems more like a pond to me, in size, anyway. Especially when you think of, like, the Great Lakes or Raystown Lake or any number of biggies.
