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!

Wilferness is a Refuge for the Human Spirit


"Wilderness is a refuge for the human spirit.  The mosaic of experiences within wilderness inspires our creativity, capability, spirituality, and ultimately - longevity."
