SPRING IS FAKING ITS ENTRANCE

I took a few minutes after my Friday meeting at the COB to wander in the springtime sun, bright blue skies, and dancing clouds above Temple Square. My heart was happy to be back at one of my favorite places with the warmth on my skin and I couldn't help but capture those moments. I don't think there's a bad angle of this place...
