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!

Behold, I make all things new!


"Behold, I make all things new!"

Revelations 21:5

Hiking yesterday through the south section of the Galena Burn was an amazing experience.  Although the fire occurred just three weeks ago, grass is already springing back throughout the entire valley.  The vast sea of black earth overlain by emerald green grass was stunning to behold.
