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!

I am pleased to see how little man and his affairs occupy the landscape.


"Man and his affairs, church and state and school, trade and commerce, and manufactures and agriculture, even politics, the most alarming of them all - I am pleased to see how little space they occupy in the landscape."

Henry David Thoreau
