Nature Photo-Quotes: Oscar Wilde

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!

If we lived more consistently the wisdom expressed in this quote, we would stop taking our own desires and impulses for granted. We would instead view them as rooted in something much vaster and more mysterious.
