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!

Arid space suggests unrestricted freedom and unlimited opportunity.


"Space, itself the product of incorrigible aridity and hence more or less permanent, continues to suggest unrestricted freedom, unlimited opportunity."

Wallace Stegner 

Photo: Scorpionweed, with Castle Rock in the background; near Moab, UT; May 5, 2014. "Incorrigible" means inveterate, habitual, confirmed.
