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!

Springtime Fairyland in Rocky Mountain National Park

 

Right now, the meadows of Moraine Park are intoxicatingly beautiful! 





The Big Thompson River meanders through marshy meadows filled with innumerable Wild Iris and Golden Banner blooms, while a bright sun glistens off the nearby peaks. It is like a springtime fairyland!
