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!

Something never dreamed of in the desert has found us.


"I can see for miles into the 'strange mystic unknown' Southwest . . . Something never dreamed of, I have found, or IT has found me . . .

"On Gawd: This citified religion is no blame good; if they can't find him (Gawd) in the woods or swamps or mountains, or along the seashore or in the desert, they sure as hell won't find him in their stinking old theological libraries.

Edward Abbey
