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!

I love being completely immersed in a mountain windstorm!

 

I love being completely immersed in a mountain windstorm, with snow blowing all around.  It's as though the Earth is stripping me of my society-based stresses and filling me with the virtues of the wilderness, including an ability to take the Larger view.
