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!

In the face of something extraordinary it is not he who is astonished, but rather the thing that is astonishing


"We have learned to differentiate what is subjective and psychic from what is objective and 'natural."  For primitive man, on the contrary, the psychic and the objective coalesce in the external world.  In the face of something extraordinary it is not he who is astonished, but rather the thing that is astonishing."

Carl Jung
