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!

I need very much this silence and this snow.


"I need very much this silence and this snow.  Here alone can I find my way because here alone the way is right in front of my face and it is God's way for me - there really is no other."

Thomas Merton
