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!

Now the Mother Earth and the Father Sky are meeting and joining one another.


"Now the Mother Earth
And the Father Sky
Meeting, joining one another;
Helpmates ever, they"

Navajo songwriter

Photo: Golden Banner flowers, Arthur's Rock, and a beautiful sky; Lory State Park, CO; June 6, 2013.  As soon as I woke up this morning, I looked out the window and saw these amazing clouds.  I quickly got dressed and rushed up to Lory State Park to capture the flowers, Arthur's Rock, and the clouds.  There were so many birds singing, it seemed like I was in the tropics!
