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!

It is my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes.

Photo: Today I discovered a dozen or so Spring-Beauty flowers blooming not just at my wintertime meditation spot on an open hillside, but in the depths of the Ponderosa Pine forest! The discovery made me SO happy! Spring is truly on its way! Lory State Park, CO; March 13, 2014
