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!

Kings may be blest, but I am glorious!


"Kings may be blest but I am glorious!  Wandered about in the woods that fringe the Falls, dripping with spray . . . "

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 248

Photo: Who says backpacking can't include some of the simple luxuries of life in town!  Each morning on my trip in the Tetons, I made coffee with Starbucks freeze-dried Italian Roast.  How wonderful to dine with the dew-covered snow lilies that surrounded my campsite!
