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 wildest scenery gives us the peace that passes all understanding.


"Here gain the peace that passes all understanding in the midst of the wildest scenery - the wilder, the deeper the peace . . . Get ahold of the inward truth that requires thought in calm solitude."

The Contemplative John Muir
