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!

Centuries of civilization have not tamed the wildness within our hearts.

 

"Centuries of civilization have not tamed the wildness within our hearts, which still resonate profoundly when in nature."

Photo: Common Globemallow, Escalante River Canyon, Escalante - Grand Staircase National Monument, UT; May 24, 2014.  There were hundreds of bees humming in the midst of these flowers, a hopeful sign in an age when bee populations are declining rapidly.
