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!

Every Creature is Moses' Sacred Burning Bush!

 

"How full of God is this hollow! . . . Spiritual fires burning in every tree, in every bush, in every stone.  At such times, every bush is a burning bush – not consumed, but growing bigger."

John Muir
