Salt Lake City, Utah

I went swimming with one of my grandsons and it was so fun as you can see by his cute face!  It was a great place to put my feet up and RELAX!

Friend’s Home

We had a delicious Italian meal at our friend’s home, it was yummy, and then it was time to RELAX and ENJOY!  Notice my poor left big toe, the toe nail.  That is what happens when someone steps on your toe, you can lose your toe nail.  I might have to touch it up in photoshop!   :^)

We had a delicious dinner at my sisters and I had fun taking photos of their fish, a Betta Fish or Japanese Fighting Fish.  This is Sharkbait-ooh-ha-ha, yes that is his name!

We had so much fun at our granddaughter’s birthday Tea Party!  Then when she went to drink her ‘tea’ her cup was nearly as big as she was!  ENJOYING LIFE!!

Tea Party

We went to our granddaughter’s birthday party and it was so fun, there were all these little 9 year old girls there for a TEA PARTY.  They were so cute, as they held up their saucer, the cup and their pinky fingers in the air as they drank their tea (herbal tea or hot chocolate)!  ENJOYING LIFE!

Straight On

The Salt Lake Temple was built by Mormon Pioneers and it took them 40 years to build.  It was announced on July 28, 1847 and dedicated on April 6, 1893.  The pioneers gave so much to build this Temple to their God.  On the outside of the Salt Lake Temple is a gold plaque that says; ‘Holiness to the LORD The House of the LORD’.

Angel Moroni

Salt Lake City, Utah

The Angel Moroni sits on the highest spire of the Salt Lake Temple and is atop most Temples throughout the world.  He is remembered for instructing and guiding the Prophet Joseph Smith to the Gold Plates, which Joseph was then able to translate into what we know today as The Book of Mormon.  As a mortal man, Moroni was the last author in The Book of Mormon and his father was Mormon.

The Salt Lake Temple

+TESL67b-0217.(IMG_0894).60Salt Lake City, Utah

Today we went to a friend’s sealing in the Salt Lake Temple.  She and her husband are here from Switzerland and Giulia asked me to take photos of her and Pio at the Temple and at the dinner that evening. I usually don’t do wedding photos, but being they are here for only a week, I decided to do it for them.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so before I went into the Temple I walked around it and took some photos of the Temple and the billowing clouds above it.

Enterprise, Utah

Enterprise is a quaint town in Southern Utah.  We drove thru it and there we saw some cows following each other.

Peaks with Snow

+UUZN10b-0117.(IMG_6831)80Zion National Park, Utah

As we drove thru Zion National Park, everywhere we looked it was gorgeous!  Peaks popped up with snow on them, then others would take their place, it was a wonderful day!

#UUZN10b-0117

Court of the Patriarchs

+UUZN8b-0117.(IMG_6852)80Zion National Park, Utah

Our drive thru Zion National Park was beautiful, the gorgeous blue sky, the snow touched red rock and the majestic mountains were awe inspiring!  Here at the Court of the Patriarchs we were surrounded by these unique rocky mountains.

He Saw Me

+ANDE8b-0117.(IMG_7006)80Zion National Park, Utah

As we drove thru Zion National Park we saw a few deer, so I took this photo of this beautiful deer looking for food in the snow, then he looked up and saw me!

Pine Trees

There had been a snow storm the week before we went to Zion National Park, now the snow was sitting below or on the pine trees, such a pretty contrast!

Sun, Tree, Reflection

Zion National Park, Utah

We took a wonderful drive thru part of Zion National Park.  I LOVED this tree, there by itself with the red rocks behind.  Zion National Park is a beautiful park to drive thru, each turn is a new vista.

Snow Covered Red Rock

I have been to Zion National Park many times but never in the winter.  This time it was so beautiful with the contrasting white snow and red rock!

Frozen Waterfall

+UUZN9b-0117.(IMG_7255)80Zion National Park, Utah

As we drove thru Zion National Park we saw this frozen waterfall.  The water had come down the mountain and just frozen.  Even though this photo is beautiful with the blue sky and mountain, now you know that it was very cold!

Snowy Fields

IMG_0846111.60Nephi, Utah

During the Winter, the fields are at a stand still, covered with snow, waiting for the warmth of the Spring sun that will melt the snow and awaken the ground.  On a trip to Southern Utah this past week-end, for a funeral of a dear friend, we were reminded of this.

Racing

+TR7c-0117.(IMG_2679)60Nephi, Utah

On our way to Southern Utah, this past week-end we saw a lot of snow. Soon, there was a train next to us, so we pretended we were racing it. Of course, they didn’t know about the race, but we did win.

Love ~ Swans

BRSW3d-0808.(IMG_7330).60Heber City, Utah

While strolling around this lake in 2008, I took photos of these Swans and one of them really showed off.  Going to the other swan, they made this heart shape just for me!  Swans, who mate for life, make this heart shape when they are courting.  I LOVE IT!!

Snowy Day

We woke-up to a very snowy day, and the snow kept coming down all day!  I LOVE SNOW!!
