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!

Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.


“Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.”

Julia Cameron   

Photo: This shadowy pictograph located on a cliff wall near Moab, Utah was painted by someone in the Archaic Barrier Canyon culture, which thrived in the area as early as 5,000 B.C.E.  To me, Archaic Culture art elicits thoughts of Aliens and mysterious spirit-beings.  December 2, 2013
