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!

Would you not be thoroughly ICED?



"Ice is only another form of terrestrial love . . . Would that I could have you here! . . . Would you not be thoroughly ICED?  You would not find in me one unglacial thought."

The Contemplative John Muir

Photo: Ice thawing on Lookout Lake; Snowy Range, WY; June 7, 2013.  On my snowshoe hike, I saw one trout swimming around in the thin layer of turquoise water!
