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!

Going to the mountains gives us the calmness and insight to help cure the world's woes.


"Go climb a mountain.  Cool your head in the sky and then you will be calmer and see better your own and the world's woes and how to help cure them."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 231
