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!

The Fern Lake Burn is recovering!


A few days ago I found this stump charred during the Fern Lake Fire last October, surrounded by Golden Banner flowers.  I've noticed that the park visitors this spring and summer have really enjoyed exploring the burn and marveling at the signs of recovery that are already present.
