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!

A radiant personality invariably proves that there is an intense spiritual fire burning within.

Photo: Thatchtop Mountain from Bierstadt Moraine; Rocky Mountain National Park, CO; September 30, 2012. Thatchtop has personal significance for me.  In 1991, I fell down a cliff while descending this mountain on a crosscountry route.  Now the mountain is decorated with a portion of two of my front teeth.
