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 fruit of study is the ability to perceive the Word of God within all things.



"What is the fruit of study?  To perceive the eternal Word of God reflected in every plant and insect, every bird and animal, and every man and woman."

From St. Ninian's Catechism, 
5th century Ireland
