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!

Mountains die that we may live.


"The great heart of the hills sends its life down in streams . . . among the stems and beneath the leaves of lilies . . . Mountains die that we may live."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 35
