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!

Awe is the beginning of wisdom.


"Awe and wonder - that is the first step in the spiritual journey.  Awe is the beginning of wisdom.  There can be no compromise on this truth."

Matthew Fox
