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 mountain is a buddha.



“To me a mountain is a buddha. Think of the patience, hundreds of thousands of years just sitting there being perfectly, perfectly silent and praying for all living creatures in that silence and just waiting for us to stop all our fretting and fooling."


Jack Kerouac
