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!

God makes the world new each morning.

"God's been making the world for millions of years, and He's still not finished.  He makes it new each morning when the sun comes up.  If He didn't - poof! - the world would be gone.  That's why we send up our prayers to Him each morning and each evening - to thank Him for the world.  If we didn't thank Him, He might not keep making the world new.  It would all be gone.  And what would White Man have to steal from us then?"

Mathew King (Noble Red Man),
