temple square ridiculousness

i happened to get to salt lake city probably on the very day that the gardens at temple square peaked in their spectacular beauty. on wednesday evening, my sister saren and her kids came down from ogden to meet me downtown to marvel at the ridiculously gorgeous tapestry of color and texture blanketed over those city blocks. we were all blown away!

of course we snapped pictures all around, but these pretty photos don't even do the spring wonderland justice. it felt like heaven strolling around! {please excuse my rolled-out-of-bed-i'm-on-vacation look...}

temple square is, to me, one of the most beautiful and sacred spots on earth. i love being there, especially with people i oh so love. and the blooming of spring! such a beautiful gift of mortality.
