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!

Anyone not capable of enjoying camp life in the mountains is in no condition for heaven.



"Anyone not capable of enjoying camp life in the mountains is in no condition for heaven. We forget nowadays what we were made for . . .




"The peace of Nature gets into your heart before you are aware, without effort."

The Contemplative John Muir
