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!

I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we IMAGINE we are?


"I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream.  Are we not always living the life that we IMAGINE we are?"

Henry David Thoreau, 1859
