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!

Beauty is found in contrast.
I found this Spring-Beauty flower on the Black
Canyon Trail in the Lumpy Ridge area of Rocky Mountain National Park
(CO) on April 5th. Like the Pasqueflower, the blossom closes up tightly
in the evening, and when rainy or snowy weather arrives. It reopens in
the morning, and when a storm is past. I'm always amazed at the
contrast that the bright color of these flowers makes with the
surrounding brown of the dried grasses.
