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 landscape is like a noble human face glowing with divine peace and joy.

 

"Every day opens and closes like a flower, noiseless, effortless.  Divine peace glows on all the majestic landscape like the silent enthusiastic joy that sometimes transfigures a noble human face."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 186
