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!

In the Spirit of Wildness,Stephen HatchFort Collins, ColoradoP.S. There's a label index at the bottom of the blog.
I feel wild and unmanageable. How gloriously it storms!
"I feel wild and unmanageable . . . How
gloriously it storms! The pines are in ecstasy, and I feel it and must
go out to them. I must borrow a big coat and mingle with the storm and
make some studies."
The Contemplative John Muir, p. 199
Photo: Dream Lake in a driving snowstorm, Rocky Mountain National Park,
CO; March 17, 2013. "You've got to be kidding me!" the camera seemed
to be saying as I took this shot. "What do I focus on?" Most of the
shots from this series are unusable because I couldn't keep the lens
snow-free!
