Tulips at the Temple

In case you didn't know, this is the Portland, Oregon temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a cloudy, but nice day and we wanted to go to the Woodburn Tulip Festival, but decided to stay close to home and see the flowers at the temple instead. I'm so glad we did. We only saw a few people there, since it was Sunday and was closed. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. Very peaceful, very beautiful. My brother and his wife were married here and it is a very special place.

Parker was upset that he couldn't go inside. I let him know he could someday.

Grant and I took turns being photographer and tried to capture some moments with Parker. These are our best shots.










This tree is around the corner from our house.
It has the pinkest blossoms of any other I've seen.

Beautiful pictures!!! Wow, it's gorgeous there. That's the bummer about living in the desert... spring isn't as inspiring. One of these days I'm going to come for a visit.
