Nature Photo-Quotes: Ellis Peters

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 first wildflowers of the season!

"Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment."

Ellis Peters,
English author

Today I found the first blooms of the season (Spring-beauties) on a south-facing slope in the foothills next to my wintertime meditation spot. I believe this is the earliest I've ever seen them! They are quite small - about a half-inch across.
