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 writer's calling is to praise the divine beauty of the world.


"What draws us into the desert is the search for something intimate in the remote . . .

I write to give pleasure and promote aesthetic bliss. To honor life and praise the divine beauty of the world."

Edward Abbey
