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!

The Silence of Snow is a Support We Can Lean Against


"I love the deep silence of the midwinter woods.  It is a stillness you can rest your whole weight against . . . This stillness is so profound you are sure it will hold and last."
