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!

Warm, sunny days thrill plants and animals and rocks alike . . .


"Warm, sunny days thrill plants and animals and rocks alike, making sap and blood flow fast, and making every particle of the crystal mountains throb and swirl and dance in glad accord like star-dust . . . Everything kept in joyful rhythmic motion in the pulses of Nature's big heart."

The Contemplative John Muir
