Temple Square this week

Oh boy. I actually did take a bunch of fun pictures this week, but just didn't have a single minute to post anything up here. Temple Square looked especially beautiful this week. The rain and the dark clouds just made it even more amazing to get to spend so much time in that place. And I also love working downtown. I need to start including some downtown shots too. I haven' take any yet, but it's a neat small downtown with lots of small fun places to photograph.

Enjoy!

I know, a picture of the ground? Yes, and I love it.

Temple Square this week

An entire week without any Temple Square pictures, huh? Well, I still got to see it every day, so I'm pretty lucky. For those of you who weren't as fortunate, here's a compilation of this week's pictures.

Donut Falls

Yesterday we took the Livster for her very first hike at Donut falls. The pretty little monkey slept the whole way up and down, leaving dad with a sore back but still grateful for the Baby Bjorn our friends Katy and Clint gave us. What a life saver. The hike was moderate, but for lazy sedentary fatties like the lady and I, it was a pretty tough one. But this is the beginning of our return to hotness. We're even buying a jogging stroller tomorrow. Yey for fitness... or at least partial non-fatness.

Here's a snapshot of our hike I recorded with my phone. Thank you Google!

We had a blast up there and loved going up with our most awesome next-door neighbors.

It's still so very hot here in Utah. It's been in the upper 90's for the last few weeks and sometimes it's just unbearable. But hey, I sacrificed a little and spent a few minutes outside in the heat, in my suit, just to give my 3 readers these pictures. Enjoy!

This is Charles Savage. Don't ask me who he is. There's a statue of him on Temple Square. Does anyone know why?

These touchscreen stations are placed all over Temple Square and they are so very cool. You can get a tour of Temple Square within Temple Square. It's like a dream within a dream!

Temple Square August 27 and 28

Saturday and Sunday were Temple Square date nights. Well, it was more of an extended family date night. The sis-in-laws and kids were in town and we got to go visit the square on Saturday and Sunday. We had such a good time there. What an incredible place. It's a different experience when you go there as a tourist. I spent about a half an hour listening to the Apostles' testimonies of Christ in the North Visitors Center. I am so very grateful for those men and their inspired leadership.

Here are my photos for yesterday (Sunday) and today. One is of the main lobby of the JSMB. The other shows a quick view of the constant summer wedding chaos around Temple Square. It's neat to see all these weddings, but I'm ready for rain and snow to come and shoo most of these people away. They get in the way of my pictures.

Christmas in August! These guys were working on the Christmas lights and making sure they were all working. Now that's what I call preparation.
