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!

Why do we find blonde and yellow hues so overpoweringly beautiful?


"Only God, my dear,
Could love you for yourself alone,
And not your yellow hair."

William Butler Yeats

Why do we find blonde and yellow hues so overpoweringly beautiful?  Do they speak to us of the radiance of a spiritual dimension that radiates like a halo from ALL ordinary things?
