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!

On the alpine tundra right now, it feels like a festival is going on!

On the alpine tundra right now, it feels like a festival is going on.  Last September's torrential rains and the abundance of snow we had this past winter are fostering an amazing wildflower display.


I hope some of you will make it up above treeline to be a part of the celebration!
