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!

We in America are being systematically robbed of the most elementary decencies of life.


"We in America are being systematically robbed.  Robbed of the most elementary decencies of life - clean air, sunlight, pure unmedicated water, grass & woods to play in, silence, solitude and space, even time, even death, Instead . . . ?  Insanity.  Tee Vee. Hi-Fi. Super-Duper.  Glittering shit. And, finally, morphine."

Edward Abbey,
1957
