Berry Berry - Missoula, Montana



“Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup.” - Wendell Berry

(I'm not sure if these particular berries are safe for picking, but the quote was pretty perfect. They kind of look like the wolf or goji berries that my oldest sis has been known to harvest from rampant back alley vines. Any expert identification is welcome!)

Sidewalk's End - Missoula, Montana

"...Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
for the children, they mark, and the children, they know,
the place where the sidewalk ends."

Embracing The Last Best Day For Ice Cream - Missoula, Montana


A perfect farewell to the waning summer: eighty degrees and the last motorcycle ride to enjoy the last summer ice cream at Sweet Peaks.


"Whoever said its better to have loved and lost has never eaten half a bucket of tear-stained ice cream in their underwear."
