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!

A Charred Willow Twig is Budding!

 

While hiking in the Fern Lake Burn, I was amazed to come upon this charred twig of willow that was budding with new flowers.  How amazing is the persistence of life!
