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!

We need to learn how to read the love letters sent by Nature.


"Every day, priests minutely examine the Law and endlessly chant complicated sutras.  Before doing that, though, they should learn how to read the love letters sent by the wind and rain, the snow and moon."

Ikkyu,
15th century Japanese Zen poet
