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!

Winter brings a sense of inner peace, simplicity and centeredness.


Snowshoeing through the winter woods in the midst of lightly falling snowflakes brings a sense of inner peace, simplicity and centeredness.  Just as the landscape seems to be sleeping, so it teaches us to rest deeply in our divine source - in the Beyond Within.
