Rushing Stream - Greenough Park, Missoula, Montana

“The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.”

- George Eliot (1819-1880) from Janet’s Repentance, chapter 5, in collection Scenes Of Clerical Life, free at this Gutenberg Project link

Delicious Autumn! - Greenough Park, Missoula, Montana

Seeing as it's technically not yet winter...

"Delicious autumn! 

My very soul is wedded to it, 

and if I were a bird 

I would fly about the earth 

seeking the successive autumns."

-George Eliot (1819-1880)
