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!

How artistic is Nature!


Isn't it amazing that water - the substance which composes the bulk of our bodies, thereby making life on Earth possible - is able to assume such wintertime artistry? I find myself irresistibly drawn to lakes - the natural "reservoirs" of our life-blood source - because of the endless patterns created by wind, freezing, and thawing in the surface layers of snow and ice. How artistically creative is Nature!
