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 grace of a blustery day in the mountains.


I find cold, blustery days in the mountains incredibly effective in clearing away my society-caused anxieties and claustraphobic ego-concerns.  Those times put me in touch instead with the creative, energizing possibilities contained within the present moment.
