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!

A moose running to the top of a mountain?



Today my brother-in-law and I left the sweltering plains and hiked up to 11,000 feet.  As we sat on the tundra eating our lunch, a cow moose came out of the woods below and ran up to the top of the mountain.  Judging by the way she was shaking her head and ears, we guessed she was trying to get away from the
bugs and out into the welcome breezes.
