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!

Wilderness lets a place have a BEYOND to it.


"The very existence of wilderness adds quality to what surrounds it . . . Wilderness lets a place have a BEYOND to it.  Wilderness symbolizes the freedom to choose what kinds of terrain you . . . hope someday to enter or to save for your children forever."

David Brower
1st Director of the Sierra Club
