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!

Hidden Nooks and Crannies in the Badlands


There are all sorts of hidden nooks and crannies in the Badlands. Here - in the Yellow Mounds section - one can find large patches of grass filled with wildflowers. It forms a small oasis of greenness in the midst of a clay, plant-less wilderness.
