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!

Contrast is needed for a thing to reveal itself.


"All that is noble is in itself of a quiet nature, and appears to sleep until it is aroused and summoned forth by contrast."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
