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!

We gaze morbidly through civilized fog upon our beautiful world clad with seamless beauty.


"Toiling in the treadmills of life, we hide from the lessons of Nature. We gaze morbidly through civilized fog upon our beautiful world clad with seamless beauty . . . Civilized man chokes his soul."

The Contemplative John Muir
