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!

Wilderness provides a place to contemplate and try to understand our place in the world.



"Wilderness provides a place to contemplate and try to understand our place in the world, an antidote to the confused state of mankind's mind in this atomic age."

Olaus Murie,
Wildlife biologist
