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 coming of spring is like the creation of the Cosmos out of Chaos.



"As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming of spring is like the creation of the Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age."

Henry David Thoreau
