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!

Only the fire of challenge can produce the radiance of enlightenment.



"Only the fire of challenge can produce the radiance of enlightenment."  For me, this is a continual life lesson, learned on ever new levels of awareness.
