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 trail is the most powerful of all silent friends, always encouraging us to do our best.


"If it be true that one's best friend is that individual who can make us do our best, then the trail is the most powerful of all silent friends. It kindly compels us to do our best without one word of advice. It teaches us as though it taught us not."

Enos Mills,
founder of Rocky Mountain National Park
