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!

We need rest and clean snow and sky.


"I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found . . . We need rest and clean snow and sky . . ."

The Contemplative John Muir, pp. 213, 214
