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 hardest rocks pulse with life.


"If you go to the midst of these bleached bones of mountains, and dwell confidingly and waitingly with them, be assured that the hardest rocks will pulse with life, secrets of divine beauty and love will be revealed to you by lakes and meadows and a thousand flowers, and an atmosphere of spirit be felt brooding over all."

The Contemplative John Muir
