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!

Love is able to see the beloved whole and against a wide sky.


"Once the realization is accepted that even between the CLOSEST human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each TO SEE THE OTHER WHOLE AND AGAINST A WIDE SKY!"

Rainer Maria Rilke
