Rabbit And Crow? Footprints In Snow - Missoula, Montana

Hello, Rabbit - Missoula, Montana

"Hello Rabbit, is that you?"

"Let's pretend it isn't", said Rabbit, "and see what happens."

- A. A. Milne, from Winnie-The-Pooh, Ch. 10


(At least I think these are rabbit tracks - of a very fluffy bunny. Think Thumper. Or Mopsy.

By the way, the real House at Pooh Corner - Cotchford Farm, where A.A. Milne wrote his classic anthropomorphic tales of Pooh and friends -  is up for sale; read more here.)

Eeyore's House - Greenough Park, Missoula, Montana

"Well, we keep looking for Home and not finding it, so I thought that if we looked for this pit, we’d be sure not to find it, which would be a good thing, because then we might find something that we weren’t looking for, which might be just what we were looking for, really."

- from Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne

Winter's Quiet Shadows - Missoula, Montana

"The light in winter is most varied; 
there are days when it's clear and bright, 
carving the earth into light and shadow like a razor. 
Yet, at times, the light can be soft and quiet 
as a whisper, with color of the most intense 
chromatic variations anyone could ever need." 

- Peter Fiore

Winter Quiet Things 2 - Missoula, Montana

"God's voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamour."
