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!

Our Country's Best Natural Settings Encourage Us to Do OUR Best

 

"Saving our best scenes is the saving of humanity.  These places encourage every one to do his best.  Scenery is our noblest resource . . . Along with mountain-climbing, scenery shakes us free from ourselves and the world."

Enos Mills, founder, Rocky Mountain National Park
