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!

Life Springs Out of Death!

 
In the burn area, I came upon a multitude of bushes that were budding out in "pussy willows."  Impossible to record with a limited instrument such as a camera, I nevertheless was able to capture a hint or two of the amazing way in which life springs out of death after a forest fire.
