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!

Wild Ice Waters Know How to Sing Themselves into the Soul


"These wild ice waters sang themselves into my soul more enthusiastically than ever."

John Muir

Photo: Hallett Peak towers above the icy, wind-polished surface of Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, January 28, 2012.  Wow, it sure was difficult getting this photo!  The wind was trying to make me skate - backwards!
