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!

Trees grip the ground as though they liked it!

 
"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast-rooted they travel about as far as we do."

The Contemplative John Muir
