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 more I give myself to the earth, the more I belong to God.



"At the heart of matter is the heart of God.  The more I give myself to the earth, the more I belong to God."

Teilhard de Chardin
