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!

To conceive of any natural object with a total apprehension I must for the thousandth time approach it as something totally strange.


"To conceive of [any natural object] with a total apprehension I must for the thousandth time approach it as something totally strange."

Henry David Thoreau
