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!

"You must love the crust of the earth on which you dwell more than the sweet crust of any bread or cake.  You must be able to extract nutriment out of it.  You must have so good an appetite as this, or else you will live in vain."

Henry David Thoreau
