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!

Autumn is a flame running through the mountains.



"Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees."

Faith Baldwin,
American author
