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 trees and rocks are flowered with snow!


"All the trees and the bushes are flowered beyond summer, bowed down in snow bloom, and all the rocks are buried. The day after the 'storm' (a most damnable name for the flowering of the clouds), I lay out on the meadow to eat a grand meal of new-made beauty!"
