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!

People are wild if they are original and independent and not tamed and broken by society.


"Whatever has not come under the sway of man is wild.  In this sense original & independent people are wild - not tamed & broken by society."

Henry David Thoreau
