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!

Wilderness inspires occasions to unleash our artistic expression.


"Experiencing wilderness rejuvenates our souls, sharpens our senses, and inspires occasions to unleash our artistic expression."
