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!

Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks offer the visitor a glimpse of what the Western landscape was like when Lewis and Clark first encountered it.


Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks offer the visitor a glimpse of what the Western landscape was like when Lewis and Clark first encountered it.  The chance to see pronghorn antelope, bison, moose, elk, deer, black bear, and - at Yellowstone - grizzlies is quite high.  All, of course, against a backdrop of wide-open, mountain-rimmed expanses of wild, wonderful country.
