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!

In the desert landscape, each thing suggests everything else.


"Combine intensity (not density) with clarity.  CLEAR AND INTENSE.  Like the desert landscape, the desert light, the desert atmosphere - clear, intense and infinitely suggestive.  Hard distinctions, precise outlines - but each thing, suggesting, somehow, everything else.  As in truth each thing does."

Edward Abbey
