Well, we made our almost-yearly visit to the temple lights in Mesa last Sunday. I look forward to going every year for a number of reasons. One of my earliest memories of Arizona was when my family came to Arizona to visit the extended family. During that trip, we went to the temple grounds and checked out the lights. I don't remember much else from that trip; I was too impressed by the lights, I guess.Another reason I look forward to going to the temple lights is that it gives me a great opportunity to play with my camera. Granted, I don't have the best camera in the world, not even one of the better cameras available, but I love taking pictures. I forgot the tripod again this year, so I found myself using trees, chairs, signs, or any other fixed object as a tripod. The picture to the right is looking south from the visitor's center using the information sign as a tripod. It's not the clearest shot, but it's one of the better ones I ended up with.
Kristi and the kids had a fun time, even though it was kind of cold (for us Arizonans). We took our "adopted" daughter, Haylee, with us this time, and the kids really had a good time with her. It was her first time seeing the lights, and she's lived here her whole life.
Some of my family is coming down this week for a funeral, so we may have to make another trip to the temple before they head back to Canada.

That picture is beautiful...you have a lot more tricks than us because our pictures usually turn out blurry! Any hints?! Fun to see the lights!
That's a great picture. You'll have to email me the pictures we took while we were there.
Looks beautiful. Wish I could have been there!
I tagged you...no pressure.
