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 first wildflowers of the season bring a sense of joy and optimism . . .



Yesterday's discovery of the first Pasqueflowers of the season brought such a sense of joy and optimism to my inner life. Whenever we are enduring a long winter of the soul, it is of utmost importance that we remember an inner Spring WILL follow!
