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!

Pasqueflowers are admirably prepared for fickle March weather!

 

Today the newly-bloomed pasqueflowers are enduring several inches of fresh snowfall. But after weathering many millennia of fickle March days, they are admirably prepared for it! With their fur-like coating, hollow stems and the capacity to close up at night and during inclement weather, pasqueflowers seem to treat these storms as mere "business as usual."
