Every fall for the last six years we have scoured our archived images to find just the right ones for the next calendar. The task is both gratifying and daunting but this year’s results are as exciting as ever! A few selections had been short-listed for the book but didn’t make the cut (we only…
“You have to do a calendar!” and “Where will I get my Nauvoo calendar?” and “Why not?” Those were a few of the comments and questions we received from friends during discussions about our new book when casually mentioning not producing a Seasons of Nauvoo calendar this year. So, are we doing a calendar this…
Have you ever experienced fall in Nauvoo? It is quite beautiful. Actually, sometimes it is quite stunning. You know the kind of stunning I mean…..stop, mouth drops open and any words you might utter like “wow” or “beautiful” don’t match what you are seeing? This photo captured what words can’t describe. Tom saw the fog…
If you have never been to Nauvoo during summer season, you may be wondering, just what is “Youth of Zion”? It is a delightful few minute’s retreat into days of old Nauvoo. The Young Performing Missionaries, called to serve in Nauvoo from early May thru mid-August arrive with smiles on their faces and songs in…

We hit the one year mark of living in Nauvoo during the last week of the Nauvoo Pageant…..and looking back over the events of the last year have left me feeling awestruck and humbled to say the least. I have intended to get our “Nauvoo Images” blog up and running since last fall and am…
What week did you capture this? We are thinking of Nauvoo the 19th and 20th of this month but want to get the beautiful colors if possible.
Hello Parley,
Thanks for asking!! This image was taken on October 25th a few years ago. Trees are just now beginning to turn this season. Not sure what fall colors we will have due to a long dry spell. Hoping the rain we are getting now will help bring out the fall colors.
Have a great day!
Jeanette and Tom
