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!

I wish to have my immortality now, that it be in the quality of my daily life.


"I wish to transcend my daily routine and that of my townsmen; to have my immortality now; that it be in the quality of my daily life."

Henry David Thoreau
