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!

In the Mountains, Our Unique Individuality is Finally Able to Crystallize
"Many come to the mountains for the very purpose of escaping from bondage. There are ropes enough in civilization. It seems one of the gravest faults of civilized life that uniformity prevents separate development. The body politic is beaten into a kind of paste and constantly stirred, thus rendering perfect crystallization of individual character difficult or next to impossible."
John Muir
