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!

Our Original Instructions


"White Man came to this country and forgot his original Instructions.  We Indians have never forgotten our Instructions . . . Our Instructions are very simple - to respect the Earth and each other, to respect LIFE ITSELF.  That's our first commandment, the first line of our Gospel."

Mathew King (Noble Red Man),
Lakota elder and chief
