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!

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread.

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."

The Contemplative John Muir
