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!

Living by the pond will be success if I shall have left myself behind.


"I want to go soon and live away by the pond where I shall hear only the wind whispering among the reeds.  It will be success if I shall have left myself behind."

Henry David Thoreau
