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 delight of solitude overpowers me from head to foot and peace smiles even in the marrow of my bones.

 

"So much do I love this solitude that . . . delight begins to overpower me from head to foot and peace smiles even in the marrow of my bones."

Thomas Merton
