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!

Preservation efforts are motivated by a love affair with Nature's beauty.



If we want to help preserve the natural world, we must first fall in love with the Earth, her landscapes and creatures.  My aim is to assist in this love affair by sharing some of the beauty I've found and the joy it elicits.
