RE: One of the greatest treasures in life is a quiet place, where a person can recharge!

The very top photo is a pond that was formed by damming a creek so it stay is real nice because it runs all the time.
The last photograph is the Keystone Lake it is just basically an overgrown Creek, LOL! Half a million surface acres of water, so it's real good fishing. Since it's only a mile from the homestead I plan to rely on that heavily if things do fall apart! But, it's also very quiet there and those trees in the picture are nice shade for fishing under. The bottom in front of the trees is sand of the gentle slope goes out quite a ways before it gets deep. The big fish come in there to eat the minnows so it never gets boring.
Just to the left in this picture is one of the small feeder Creeks that feeds Keystone Lake; it's a v-shaped bay that's about half to 1 acre depending on how high the water is. That's where I plan to do my bank fishing for perch!

That looks nice. I was going to ask where that was but I saw on your blog that you are from Oklahoma. I have a few cousins down there. I only visited once years ago but the fishing was good.
Not as good as the fishing up there in Canada last time I was there, LOL! But it is pretty good fishing, and there are some pretty good-sized fish in that Lake. The pond is mainly small stuff, but I'm really go there for the quiet; but I did drown the worm in it from time to time. Trotlines and yo-yos in the lake are good ways fish and we also use jug lines. I have taken 40 pound fish out that way, but a hook is more restful.
I plan to pressure can some of the fish for storage. I also would like to learn how to smoke them well, and how to pickle some! So many skills yet to learn, I hope we have time.
In the meantime I'll keep wetting the hook and relaxing, hopefully for a full recharge.
Be safe!
