Temple Square & Conference Center


We always enjoy walking around Temple Square.
I always feel such a sweet, peaceful feeling when I go there.

A few of the the many beautiful flowers.
I love the newness of spring as the plants, flowers, and tree blossoms begin to bloom.

We had never done a full tour of the Conference Center before.
It was interesting to hear in detail how the building came together. The workmanship and detail is amazing!

This is one of the many beautiful original paintings in the Conference Center.
I don't remember the exact measurements but it was huge!
The detail in the paintings are incredible. What an amazing talent these artists have.

When we went to the roof top to see the gardens we passed The President's Hall.
They have bronze sculpted busts of each of the prophets, the workmanship is incredible.
In the hallway after that they have portraits of all the apostles in the latter-days.
We recognized many names of Apostles that we had seen earlier in the day at the cemetery.
It was nice to make the connection with a name and a face.
