First Snow

This morning, residents of Clarke County awakened to the splendor of snow glistening, and the sweet silver song of a lark… were you listening?
We are truly blessed with the beauty that abounds and surrounds us all throughout Clarke County, Virginia.
The surprise, joy, and awe of one’s first snow are captured in the shining eyes of this fun-loving youngster. Many thanks to Joe Camp, creator of Benji and author of The Soul of a Horse, for sharing this precious photo. Joe’s book, incidentally, is a perfect Christmas gift for horse lovers, big and small, and everyone else!
Thank you Janet Hitchen for…
…sharing your beautiful photographs for use in our stable tour web site and displayed in our new masthead, above. Now everyone can enjoy the picturesque countryside described in this blog through the lens of Clarke County resident and professional photographer, Janet Hitchen. When one of our stable tour committee members first saw the landscape photo in the masthead of our Lark through Clarke Stable Tour and More home page, she exclaimed: “This is exactly why we moved to Clarke County!”
Our new masthead, compliments of Janet Hitchen, captures the essence of Clarke County— home to historic places, landmarks, people and, as you can see, breathtaking pastoral views, set against the majestic Blue Ridge mountains. The scenes pictured above and below are typical of what you will witness on your self-driven tour of Clarke County stables and historic farms, come Saturday, October 9, 2010.
In my initial post, I promised to bring you a behind-the-scenes look as we introduce you to the first annual Lark through Clarke Stable Tour and More. A visit to Janet’s Landscape and Hunt Country Galleries will give you a glimpse of the panoramic mountain views that envelop Clarke County residents and why they are both blessed and enthralled with the beauty that surrounds them.

love and enjoy life around and about Clarke County, Virginia.
