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!

Our real Father is Tunkashila, and our real Mother is the Earth.

 
"We have a biological father and mother, but our real Father is Tunkashila [Creator] and our real Mother is the Earth."
