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!

We require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable . . .


"We need the tonic of wildness . . . We require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable."

Henry David Thoreau
