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!

Pasqueflowers at 11,500 Feet

 
Just above Montgomery Pass - above treeline -  I came across a whole meadow of Pasqueflowers!  


They first started coming into bloom at 7,000 feet on March 20th, and now are flowering in the alpine tundra on June 20th.  What a nice long period to be able to encounter one of my favorite wildflowers!
