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!

The woods are chock-full of honest spirits.


"I believed that the woods [of Mount Kineo] were not tenantless, but chock-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day - not an empty chamber in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house - and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them."

Henry David Thoreau
