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!

was a Syrian who was brought as a slave to Italy. However, by his wit
and talent, he won the favor of his master, who freed and educated him.
He is most famous for his collection of moral maxims.
