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!

A day in the woods makes us immortal.



"Talk of immortality! After a whole day in the woods we are already immortal. Where is the end of such a day? . . . One day is a thousand years, a thousand years is one day, and while yet in the flesh you enjoy immortality."

The Contemplative John Muir
