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 forms and individual characters of things constitute their holiness in the sight of God.


"The forms and individual characters of living and growing things, of inanimate beings, constitute their holiness in the sight of God."
