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!

Wild parks are Nature's cathedrals.




"Wild parks are places of recreation . . . , 
 
 
 
 
Nature's cathedrals . . . ,
 
 
 
where all may gain inspiration and strength and get nearer to God."

The Contemplative John Muir
