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!

A climb up the Rockies will put one in touch with the Infinite


"A climb up the Rockies will . . . put one in tune with the Infinite . . . The Rockies . . . stir one's blood and strengthen and sweeten life."

Enos Mills,
Father of Rocky Mountain National Park
