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 great land, like a great lady, has her way with men.



"A great land, like a great lady, has her way with men . . . and you could not move her - no, not if you had all the earth to give - so much as one tawny hair's breadth beyond her own desires."

Mary Austin
