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!

We are meant to express our true nature with exuberance!


I really love this time of year, when the banks of Lookout Lake are filled with large clumps of Columbine.  Here, many of the blooms are white in hue, which makes the Snowy Range appear even more snowy!  To me, the abundance of blooms speaks of the overflowing exuberance of life.  All of us are meant to express our true nature and not feel bound up by excessive worry that we might be wrong or flawed!
