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!

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.


"In God's wildness lies the hope of the world, the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.  The galling harness of civilization drops off, and the wounds heal 'ere we are aware."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 208
