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!

Yesterday I discovered this Snow Buttercup blooming right out of a
snowbank. It's amazing to me how much in a hurry alpine plant species
like this buttercup are to begin their life cycle each season, almost
as though they are filled with exuberance and joy at the prospect of
being alive.
