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!

Paying attention to the trickster aspect of Life


Over the past three weeks, there have been THREE times when a raven or crow entered the frame just as I was taking a picture.  Twice in the desert (ravens) and once in the mountains (a crow).  For me, ravens and crows represent intelligence and the humorous or trickster aspect of life.  I'm aware that I definitely need to remember the trickster aspect of Life when things don't go the way I've planned!
