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!

The first foothills wildflower is blooming!
Today
when I hiked up to my wintertime meditation spot high on a south-facing
slope in the foothills, I discovered a blossom of the very first
wildflower of the season peeking up above the dried grass! The
sun-heated rock lying next to this Spring-beauty flower enabled it to
get an early start. Actually, the blooming of the other Spring-beauty
blossoms won't occur for another month. But this forerunner brings me a
taste of the expansive state of mind and heart that is so much a part
of Spring and Summer!
