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!

Earth is partly heaven, and heaven, earth.


" 'Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor the mind conceived what God has prepared for those who love him' is applicable here, for earth is partly heaven, and heaven, earth."

The Contemplative John Muir
