Lake Rudolph gave me a lot of moments that I will never forget for the rest of my life. One incident that was memorable was an incident about me being stupid. For instance‚ at Lake Rudolph you could rent golf carts to around the premise. Most places at Lake Rudolph were accessible by driving the golf cart around. So it was logical for us to rent one. The third and final night we were there‚ my family was riding around in the golf cart‚ enjoying the cool summer night. While in the golf cart‚ I asked

I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible. Only after sitting on the wooden bench I realize that the bench was still slightly wet from previous night’s heavy rain. Though autumn had stripped away the youthful leaves of deciduous trees around the lake‚ it brought a strange nostalgic beauty to the campus. Dry and crispy fallen leaves

The afternoon sun shined on the lake‚ reflecting it across the calm waters. Crowds of people were enjoying their Sunday afternoon on North Beach at Devil’s Lake State Park. Young children stumbled on the moist sand and shallow waters as they tried to catch tadpoles with their small buckets. Soothing‚ a gentle breeze passed by as we walked towards the edge of Devil’s Lake. Marveling at the majestic mountain of cedars around the lake and smelling the damp sand‚ my dad‚ little sister‚ and I were all

THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE By William Butler Yeats I will arise and go now‚ and go to Innisfree‚ And a small cabin build there‚ of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there‚ a hive for the honeybee‚ And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there‚ for peace comes dropping slow‚ Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a-glimmer‚ and noon a purple glow‚ And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will

In a southern Oklahoma there is a large lake full of fish. In this place‚ on many warm summer days‚ my family and I would bring our boat to the lake and ride the cool calm water. We would anchor our boat and cast our rods and relax catching countless sparkling rainbow trout. My family and I did this for many years. The lake was large and always full of people‚ and it was surrounded by trees and full of fish. The smells were great‚ as well as the campfires and food‚ and it was always a good getaway
