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!

I am surprised for the thousandth time at the beauty of the landscape.


"I am surprised for the thousandth time at the beauty of the landscape."

Henry David Thoreau

Photo: Shriveled wild plums with the first raindrops we've had in over two months.  Lory State Park, CO; September 12, 2012.  On the ground underneath these plum bushes was a huge pile of bear scat - filled with plum pits!
