Memorial Day, 2012, North Creek Lake

We went to camping for a night in Owens Creek Campground of Catoctin Mountain Park.  It was fantastic. My family and I came back yesterday.

Today I went to North Creek Lake and picked up trash with the help of my sister and dad. Here are some pictures:

We also saw a snail.  I wonder what the name is.  I will find out some time.

Happy Memorial Day.

North Creek lake trash pickup

North Creek lake in Gaithersburg MD is very close to my house.  My family go there often for a walk, or play.  We see a lot of trash in the water.  I do not like to see trash in such a beautiful lake.  I decide to pick up as much as possible, and my parents encourage it.  I pick them up,  put them in a plastic bag and dispose in nearby trash cans.  Lots of trash, and there are many different items.  You name them, water bottles, cans, tennis balls, soccer balls, etc.

Some pictures of the trash I picked yesterday (Saturday, 05/19/2012).

I also saw some geese and goslings.  They are pretty.

See you.

Here you go, see what I do!

I am a 5th grade student at the Clearspring Elementary, Damascus, Maryland.  I am interested in learning Marine Biology.  In my free time, I like to go to parks and lakes around the state with my dad and my little sister. I would like to record things that I do here.  I am new in blogging, but hope I will learn.
