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!

Fire and Ice

 
If beauty is the harmony of contrasts, then snow adorning a tree that burned in last year's fire is a prime example.  And so is the ability to connect with other people through shared suffering, balanced by the quest to see through that pain into Something more vast and liberating.
