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 environmental matters, future generations do not have a vote.


"The irony of the matter [regarding the environment] is that the future generations do not have a vote. In effect, we hold their proxy * ."

Charles J. Hitch,
past president, University of California


* "Proxy" means "the authority to represent someone else, especially in voting."
