Meg and I enjoyed a serene late afternoon and early evening at Morgan Lake here in eastern Oregon. Morgan Lake is a quiet retreat a fifteen minute drive from town at the top of the west hills above La Grande. Picnic tables and walking trails make it an ideal place to relax, and it is also regularly stocked with rainbow trout. No motors are allowed on the lake, so paddling, either for recreation or for fishing, is a soothing way to spend part of a day.
Indian summer produces colorful cottonwood and aspen leaves around the shore, which reflect off the lake as the wind dies down. And, taking the time to watch a full moon silently rising is an excellent retreat for mind and soul.
