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!

A true answer will not aim to establish anything, but rather to set all well afloat


"We are not so far from right when we answer one question by asking another. Yes and No are lies.  A true answer will not aim to establish anything, but rather to set all well afloat.  All answers are in the future, and day answereth to day.  Do we think we can anticipate them?"

Henry David Thoreau
