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 human soul is even more sensitive to natural beauty than the camera!


"See how willingly Nature poses herself upon photographers' plates. [But] no earthy chemicals are so sensitive as those of the human soul. All that is required is exposure, and purity of material."

The Contemplative John Muir
