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 very storms seem talkative


"The whole wilderness seems to be alive and familiar, full of humanity.  The very storms seem talkative, sympathetic, brotherly.  No wonder when we consider that we all have the same Father and Mother."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 116.
