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!

Come ON, Spring!


This past weekend, I went on retreat at St. Benedict's Monastery.  It was blustery and snowy the entire time, and the robins singing in the brush outside my hermitage seemed to be saying, "Come ON, Spring!"
