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!

It's time for the lake ice to bloom again!


It's time again for the mountain lakes to ice over.  To me, the beautiful and ever-changing patterns formed in lake ice - and in snowflakes, the ice of the sky - are Winter's "bloom," corresponding to the flowering plants of  summer.
