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!

The constant murmuring of a stream could quiet the passions of mankind forever.

 
"You could any where run across the stream on the rocks, and its constant murmuring would quiet the passions of mankind forever."

Henry David Thoreau
