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!

A moody day


Today, the weather acted quite moody. Sunrise was not visible, but the side of the mountain I was planning on photographing lit up briefly for several minutes.


 Then the rains moved in, and then - at higher elevations . . .


snow prevailed. Finally, as the clouds began to clear . . .


a rainbow appeared!

Photos: (Top) Sunrise on Beckwith Mountain, near Crested Butte; (Second) The rain moves in on the Castle Creek area, near Aspen; (Third) Snow on Independence Pass, near Aspen; (Bottom) A rainbow appears near Copper Mountain.  All photos were taken in Colorado on September 28, 2014
