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 world is mind precipitated.

 

"Nature is the incarnation of a thought, and turns to thought, again, as ice becomes water and gas.  The world is mind precipitated, and the volatile essence is forever escaping again into the state of free thought."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
