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!

In society you will not find health, but in Nature.


"In society you will not find health, but in Nature."

Henry David Thoreau

This statement, of course, expresses only half of the truth.  The other half is this:  "When you find health during solitary times spent in Nature, then you will find health in society."
