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!

Humans desire mystery, not industrial gimmickry.


"What most humans really desire is something quite different from industrial gimmickry - liberty, spontaneity, nakedness, mystery, wildness, wilderness."

Edward Abbey
