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!

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?



"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Mary Oliver




What would we do without wild country? Wilderness opens us up to the wildness within - to our spontaneous, one-of-a-kind, creative humanity that enables The Great Mystery to take a completely unique perspective on itself, one that has never yet been and which will never again appear on this Earth!
