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!

Autumn wins us best by its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.



"Autumn wins you best by this . . . ,



 "its mute appeal to sympathy . . .



"for its decay."

Robert Browning
