Big Scissors

Pleasure House Point is one of my favorite peaceful places to walk, close to home. Many of my heron photos are taken here. I usually see few people (if any) on my early morning walks, but today there were hundreds for the grand opening ceremony. I, too, celebrate the preserving of this wonderful property, but I'll be glad when it's quiet again.

About PHP:

This high-profile property was once being considered for a large waterfront development, but with the help of The Trust for Public Land, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the surrounding community, the City has preserved one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land on the Lynnhaven River for generations to come.
