Welcome! I am a contemplative thinker and photographer from Colorado. In this blog, you'll discover photographs that I've taken on my hiking and backpacking trips, mostly in the American West. I've paired these with my favorite inspirational and philosophical quotes - literary passages that emphasize the innate spirituality of the natural world. I hope you enjoy them!

Trees and Souls are Innately Noble


'"Nothing stands up more free from blame in this world than a tree . . . Methinks my own soul must be a bright invisible green."  (Henry David Thoreau)
