Lighted Pathway - Clark Fork River, East Missoula, Montana

Almost as if there are soft cloud lanterns lighting a quieter path for evening strolling water sprites...

Poured Out Autumn Palette - Missoula, Montana

“One should be a painter.

As a writer, I feel the beauty,

 which is almost entirely colour,

 very subtle, very changeable,

 running over my pen,

 as if you poured a large jug of champagne over a hairpin.”

-Virginia Woolf (1882-1941),

  from The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Six, 1936-1941

Cozy Cup Weather - Missoula, Montana

"Brew me a cup for a winter's night.
For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;
Spice it with love and stir it with care,
And I'll toast our bright eyes,
my sweetest fair."
- Minna Thomas Antrim (1861-1950)
