Celebrating the Mutual Mirroring of Nature and the Human Spirit
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!

Nature photography elicits a sense of hope for a better future.
"I
am not afraid of beauty, of poetry, of sentiment. I think it is just
as important to bring to people the evidence of the beauty of the world
of nature and of man as it is to give them a 'document' of ugliness,
squalor, and despair. For every grim image of Harlem there should be
some buoyant truthful image of a hopeful society and some image of the
natural scene . . . Is there no way photography can be used to suggest a
better life?"
Ansel Adams, responding to those who critiqued his work as having little social significance
