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 Spirit of Wildness,Stephen HatchFort Collins, ColoradoP.S. There's a label index at the bottom of the blog.
A life truly lived means being thoroughly worn out in being used for a higher purpose before we are thrown on the scrap heap.
"This is the true joy in life, the being used
for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being
thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a
force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments
and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to
making you happy."
George Bernard Shaw
