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!

Sometimes the beauty of Nature is almost unbelievable!


Sometimes the beauty of Nature is almost unbelievable.  I hiked for two hours up to this alpine lake at 11,430 feet, and when the sun came out, the malachite-green hue of the lake contrasted beautifully with the blue-and-white of the columbines.  With the Crags looming in the background, who could ask for more?
