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!

Rocky Mountain High!



"You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply;
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado . . ."

John Denver
"Rocky Mountain High"





Here in Colorado, we are quite proud of our mountain wildflowers. Large, showy, colorful, blooming in vast meadows - these plants definitely contribute to our state motto: "Colorful Colorado."
