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!

A Tug-of-War Between Winter and Spring

 

 
I love this time of year because winter and spring seem to be playing a game of tug-of-war. Back and forth they see-saw, and sometimes the two reach a stalemate. It is during those times that the landscape is often most beautiful. As always, beauty consists - at least in part - in a magnificent harmony of contrasts.
