Mesa Arizona Temple

When they built this temple in Mesa,
nobody ever thought
there would be need for more
than one temple in Arizona.

It reminds me a bit of the temple in Laie, Hawaii.

A climbed up for a better look.

And here I am reflecting by the reflecting pool.

Each temple has its own unique history.

Good thing I was here in the spring, because I don't know
if I could resist taking a dip if it was too hot.

Just so you know,
sitting on a cactus isn't that comfortable.

What I don't do for a great picture!

This one isn't quite so prickly, but still . . .

This is a piece of petrified wood.

And this rock is covered with petroglyphs.

I missed being able to see the annual Easter pageant,
but I did get to see the scenery.

Too bad I had to leave a couple
 of days before the pageant.

I hear it is awesome!

This is a depiction of the Garden Tomb.
My owners may be taking me to the real
one in Jerusalem later this year.
Stay tuned.

I plan to come back someday and see the Easter pageant.
