We were down in the flats taking spring shots of flowers at Sarah Granger Kimball’s home and turned to leave…..and saw this amazing sight. The sun was sparkling off the silver dome atop the temple and all was green as far as the eye could see.

The last of the trees had blossomed out and fully opened their leaves. No more bare branches of winter…..all was new and beautiful again.

This is Nauvoo in mid-May.

Simply. Beautiful.
