View of the Nauvoo Temple from the flats

If you haven’t experienced a Nauvoo spring, you are missing something special. Weather is totally unpredictable—warm one day, cold the next. Maybe even the threat of snow at times, and yes, the wind is always blowing.

My favorite things about a Nauvoo spring? Trees covered with blossoms. Tiny bright green leaves. Tulips…..thousands of them. Green grass appearing almost overnight. Shops reopening after a long winter. Visitors returning. New missionaries arriving.

Have a few photos for you taken a few days apart. Springtime beauty in Historic Nauvoo…..need I say more?
