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!

Contemplative attitudes really stand out in a society focused on hyperactivity.


Just as plant color really stands out in the brown landscape of early Spring, so the contemplative attitudes of tranquility and mindfulness become highlighted in a society focused on speed and hyperactivity.
