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 loneliest people above all contribute most to commonality.


"The loneliest people above all contribute most to commonality."
Rainer Maria Rilke

Yes, the creative process usually requires solitude, yet it brings to birth something new for the benefit of EVERYONE!
