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!

Life in the woods is a seamless flow . . .


"Life in the woods is not a string of incidents feebly joined, full of gaps and inequalities, but a flow - all things memorable . . . Everything called Nature, all the world and worlds, are foundationally spiritual and are pulsing warmly and smoothly like blood globules in the heart of God."

The Contemplative John Muir
