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!

For attacking the solid and strong, nothing is better than water.


 "Under heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water.



 "Yet for attacking the solid and strong, nothing is better; it has no equal.


"The weak can overcome the strong; the supple can overcome the stiff. Under heaven everyone knows this, yet no one puts it into practice."

Lao Tsu,
6th century B.C.E., China
