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!

Paintbrush blossoms are the painted fingernails of the Goddess . . .



On a lazy summer afternoon above treeline, Indian Paintbrush blossoms seem like the polished fingernails of the Goddess, caressing the curvaceous cliffs thrust out behind them as they wave confidently in the breeze . . .
