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!

Beauty serenely disdains to annihilate us.


"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure.  And we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us."

Rainer Maria Rilke
