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!

I long for the high places - they are so clean and pure and untouched.


"I long for the high places - they are so clean and pure and untouched."

Ansel Adams,
landscape photographer

Photo: I love how this Alpine Buckwheat plant is thriving in pumice soil. To me, it amplifies Ansel Adams' insight about the cleanness and purity of mountain vistas. Mt. Rainier National Park, WA, July 29, 2015
