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!

The warm blood of God flows through these mountain granites and frozen streams.


"The warm blood of God flows through these mountain granites, flows through these frozen streams, . . . flows through death itself . . . They are in a gushing, glowing current of life; they too are godful and immortal."

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 298
