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 work of creation is still going on!

"The work of creation is still going on. God is doing his best in it, working with human enthusiasm and making everything sing the first song of creation, to shake up and surprise and frighten even the dullest, least sensitive observer into newness of life, out of soul-wasting apathy, to make him begin to live again . . ."
