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!

Desert Varnish: Mother Earth's Hair


Desert varnish:
Mother Earth's hair
streaming across voluptuous sandstone curves -
red, the color of passion
