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 snowstorm moves from tree to tree, as if bestowing separate and independent blessings upon each.



"I wish that you could have seen the edge of the snow-cloud, which hovered, oh, so soothingly, discharging its heaven-begotten snows with such unmistakable gentleness and moving perhaps from pine to pine as if bestowing separate and independent blessings upon each."

The Contemplative John Muir
