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!

Mountain Beauty Makes Our Substance Glow with Joy


"I think that one of the properties of that compound which we call man is that when exposed to the rays of mountain beauty it glows with joy."
 
(John Muir)
