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!

That grand old poem called Winter is 'round again . . .



"That grand old poem called Winter is 'round again . . .




"Nature loves this rhyme so well that she never tires of repeating it . . .




"What a poem! An epic in blank verse, enriched with a million tinkling rhymes. It is solid beauty."

Henry David Thoreau
