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!

Beauty is the creator of the universe.



"The world is not painted, or adorned, but is from the beginning beautiful. God has not made some beautiful things, but Beauty is the creator of the universe."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
