It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters in the end.

- Ursula K. LeGuin



 

A Great Place
 

Bles Park, located in Ashburn, Virginia, is a 124 acre park that includes 94-acres of passive park land with walking, birding and hiking trails. Trails run along fields, wetlands and a stream which offer a nice diversity of species that include frogs and toads, all sorts of great summer warblers, beautiful wildflowers and a great diversity of butterflies and dragonflies.
