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!

A mindful attitude reveals the fact that Nature often displays surprising color schemes.


A mindful attitude reveals the fact that Nature often displays surprising color schemes. Here, we see the blue of the lake-center shading into orange, and then into the yellow of the sandy shallows, where the reflected sun also appears. Then there's the green of the grass and the deep brown of the mud on the shore. A small rock out toward the lake-center accents the scene by providing a "beauty-mark" on the face of the landscape.
