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!

Every being is a variation on every other being.



The resemblance of our subalpine Elephanthead flowers to actual elephants reminds me of a deeper truth - namely, that every being is a variation on every other being.  Thus, for example, a person is a human version of  a mountain peak, and a mountain peak is a mountainous version of humanity!
