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!

Staying in the house breeds a sort of insanity.

 

"Staying in the house breeds a sort of insanity always.  Every house is in this sense a hospital.  A night and a forenoon is as much confinement to those wards as I can stand.  I am aware that I recover some sanity which I had lost almost the instant that I come abroad."

Henry David Thoreau
