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!

"And we, who with unveiled faces all contemplate as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness from glory to glory."

St. Paul
2 Corinthians 3:18


The storms over the past four days produced dozens of pools within the potholes naturally formed in sandstone. They were beautiful, especially at sunrise!
