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!

To him who contemplates a trait of natural beauty no harm nor disappointment can come.

"To him who contemplates a trait of natural beauty no harm nor disappointment can come."

Henry David Thoreau



Photos: Aspens and sunset, Rawah Range, CO; September 23, 2014.  Yes, this grove of aspen trees really is this intensely ruby-red!
