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!

In the wilderness, we feel whole and alive.

"[In the wilderness] we feel whole and alive when we have the opportunity to challenge ourselves physically, enjoy self-motivated exploration and discovery, and create our own adventure stories."
