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 things of Nature are images of the silence . . .


"The things of Nature are images of the silence, exhibiting not themselves so much as the silence, like signs pointing to the place where silence is."

Max Picard,
"The World of Silence"
