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!

Death and resurrection are a prominent motif in our Colorado mountains.

 

Death and resurrection are a prominent motif in our Colorado mountains. Greyrock Meadow - shown in this photo - burned in the Hewlett Fire exactly two years ago. The fire ended up charring about 7600 acres. Because the fire provided a sizable dose of fertilizer when it turned the forest floor debris to ash, pasqueflowers in the area are now more prolific than ever!
