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!

Fire is needed to reveal the gold.


The flames of a forest fire bring a delightful gold color to some plant species, just as a metalsmith's fire is often used in refining and purifying gold.
