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!

Lichens are the Hardiest of Earth's Inhabitants.


"One could speculate that lichens would be among the last inhabitants to succumb on a dying earth at some distant point in the future."
