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!

An Armenian in Utah's Canyon Country


It seems my Middle Eastern heritage (minus the blue eyes) always comes out when I'm in the desert. My grandfather's last name was Hatchadorian, and he came to this country from the Armenian part of Turkey during the Armenian Persecution.
