The “County Park” Next Door | Zhanna's Adventures

Rich and I took a short walk on this warm January day to admire the hard work and artistry of our neighbor, Doug. Over the past five years, he has transformed this once brush- and weed-filled plot into a work of landscape art. And the work continues! I doubt he’ll ever be “done,” but he really enjoys the work, and as his neighbors we really appreciate and enjoy the results.

Zhanna stands on the wide stone bridge leading into the park.

Zhanna sits on the bridge. Notice the expert stonework!

The stream flows down from the waterfall and passes beneath the wide stone bridge.

After a warm winter, there is just a sliver of ice remaining near this small waterfall.

Another view of the waterfall and the fence surrounding it.

I would love to ride my bike over this small wooden bridge!

Further upstream, Zhanna admires how the entire creekbed is lined with coping stones.

The bridge is sturdily constructed and very picturesque.
