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!

May my thoughts and actions become just as beautiful as the alpine ice and snow of which they are a humble human expression.
Each
winter, I spend quite a bit of time sitting, crawling around and lying
down on mountain lakes, enthralled with the various patterns, forms and
sculptures that alpine ice and snow can take.
Even more amazing
is the fact that this ice-and-snow will one day circulate through my
body - after it thaws, enters the adjacent stream, and makes its way to
my tap.
I ask that my thoughts and actions - "lubricated' as
they are by such an amazing substance - may become just as beautiful as
the sacred, noble, sculptured ice of which they are a humble human
expression.
