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!

Winter's big with summer in her womb.


"Winter's big with summer in her womb."

Vita Sackville-West,
English writer, poet and gardener

I don't know about you, but I need a reminder of summer right about now!

Photo: Colorado Columbines, American Lakes Basin, Never Summer Range, CO; July 13, 2013.  About a half-hour after I took this photo, the clouds unleashed the most intense hailstorm I've ever seen!
