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!

Preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words.


"Preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words."

Source Unknown
Often attributed to St. Francis of Assisi

Photo: Limber Pine cone and Kinnickinnick in its winter dress; Vedauwoo Recreation Area, Medicine Bow National Forest, WY; March 8, 2013.  Even though this quote (along with "Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace . . .") was not spoken by St. Francis, it is definitely in his spirit.
