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 thousand peaks, ten thousand ridges are clamoring for attention.


"Who says poets are so enthralled with mountains?  Mountains,
mountains, mountains - I've raved on and on, and they're still
clamoring for attention.  A thousand peaks, ten thousand ridges:
it's too much for me."
