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!

The most valuable communication or news consists of hints and suggestions.



"I am interested in an indistinct prospect, a distant view, a mere suggestion often, revealing an almost wholly new world to me . . . The most valuable communication or news consists of hints and suggestions.  When a truth comes to be known and accepted, it begins to be bad taste to repeat it.  Every individual constitution is a probe employed in a NEW direction, and a wise person will attend to each one's report."

Henry David Thoreau
