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!

Art is crystallized emotion.


"The object of art is to crystallize emotion into thought, and then fix it in form."

Francois Delsarte,
French musician and teacher
