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!

The more planless we go, the more surely we settle into right relations with the mountains.


"The more planless we go, the more surely we settle down into right relations with the mountains."

The Contemplative John Muir

Photo: I never planned on coming upon these mountain goats when I arose early to catch the sunrise, which made their appearance all the more special. Beartooth Mountains, WY; August 4, 2013
