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 Maker's radiant sight made radiant every thing He saw.


To sit and look at light-filled leaves
May let us see, or seem to see,
Far backward as through clearer eyes
To what unsighted hope believes . . .
Time when the Maker's radiant sight
Made radiant every thing He saw.
And every thing He saw was filled
With perfect joy and life and light.

Wendell Berry
