Sharing this image of the Draper Utah Temple. As I set up to make this image I met Chris, a man devoted to the gospel who had come to the temple grounds seeking the Spirit. We enjoyed a long, deep conversation together. An hour and 45 minutes actually. Engaged in dialogue we both knew we knew each other before this life and we both knew that we were led to this temple, in this spot, at this time to meet for the first time in mortality with each being a mouthpiece for God for each other. A sacred experience indeed.

This is the Vernal Utah Temple. Having just delivered a claw foot tub we had for sale to a younger couple from Vernal we just had to stop by the temple and snap a few. This one from my iPhone.

One thing that caused me to pause to take this photo of the Draper Utah Temple was the receding row of warm-colored feather reed grass in the foreground with the cool-colored mountains in the background. But the real star here is the magnificent temple of the Lord.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. You may never have heard of it. It’s easy to get to and the views down into the Canyon cannot be appreciated fully in a photograph - here’s one anyway. From central Utah there are three beautiful routes to Colorado Springs that take roughly the same amount of time: I-70 to I-25; I-70 to Hwy 24; I-70 to Hwy 50 to I-25. All three have their own special beauties.
