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!

Peace is continually seeking us.


"It was a calm evening, a calmness that felt its way pervadingly back into one's soul."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 189

It is nice to know that peace is continually seeking us, looking for a refuge within our soul.
