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!

Fresh beauty unfolds when perceiver and perceived engage in a love affair with one another.
So
much of the world's beauty reveals itself only when we adjust our angle
of view. In this case, I snowshoed out to a rock standing in the
middle of a frozen lake. Because a depression in the ice had formed all
around the rock, I was able to place my camera down into the 12-inch
deep hole and shoot horizontally through the ice rather than the usual
way - vertically, through the top. As always, fresh beauty is able to
unfold when the perceiver and perceived come into a cooperative
relationship where each engages in a love affair with the other.
