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!

Mountains are great poets.

"Mountains are great poets, and one glance at this fine cliff scene undoes a great deal of prose, and reinstates us wronged people in our rights. All life, all society begins to get illuminated and transparent . . . Space is felt as a great thing."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
