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!

Perceived beauty is the outward projection of a universal quality immanent within us.


"Beauty perceived outwardly must be discovered or realized inwardly, for we love that which we are and we are that which we love. Perceived beauty is  . . . the outward projection of a universal quality immanent in us."
