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!

Camping Allows No Wearisome, Humdrum Sermonizing!
"Camping: the delight of picking a place - fresh, beautiful. Here are no wearisome sermons – comfortable, commonplace and humdrum. Instead, there is an escape from every phase of civilized formality, from all the fixed societal laws of action. Here we find ever-changing scenes: new “furniture” in the dining room every day and every meal."
