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!

What a Difference a Year Makes in Snowfall Amounts!

 
What a difference a year makes!  The photo above was taken this past weekend at Lake Solitude, on July 5, 2014.  The picture below was shot a year ago, on July 6, 2013.  It's amazing how much more snow the Rocky Mountains received this past winter, compared to a year ago!
