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 sharpens our perspective, helping us remember who we are.


"When immersed in the perspective-sharpening power of wilderness, we remember who we are and reflect upon how we fit into the natural world."
