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!

Fresh patterns of experience can manifest themselves at any moment within our relatively predictable schedules!


 I really enjoy visiting and revisiting the same mountain lakes over the course of a single winter. Each visit features a brand new patterning of ice and snow, beautiful in its own way and completely unique. Perhaps we can learn to see our own relatively mundane routines in a similar way, remaining on the lookout for the fresh patterns of experience that may manifest themselves at any moment within our relatively predictable schedules.
