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 Great Spirit is within all things . . .



"The Great Spirit is within all things: the trees, the grasses, the rivers, the mountains, and all the four-legged animals and the winged peoples, and He is also above all these things and peoples."
