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 beauty of wisdom often increases with age.

These tough old Limber Pine trees inspire me to remember that the beauty of wisdom often increases with age.  Young people these days crave true mentors who are capable of inspiring hope in the midst of life's challenges.  Will the rest of us rise to the occasion?
