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 Pure Religion of Sunshine and Snow


"One passes naturally  . . . to the pure religion of sunshine and snow,  where all the good and evil of people lifts and vanishes from the mind, like mist from the mountains."

John Muir
