| I took pictures at one of my favorite places this morning. |
 |
| The Provo City Center Temple has been open for 3 months. |
 |
| I was not the only visitor. |
 |
| My mother always planted a few snapdragons each year. I can't help but smile when I see them. |
 |
| I was puzzled by these water droplets in the flower bed. They were only in this one spot. |
 |
| Once I got home, I realized they were entangled in a spider web. |
 |
| I need to visit more often. |
 |
| I'm working on another Sunday School lesson with the back door open. |
 |
| Well, I was. Hummingbirds are surprisingly noisy. |
 |
| My camera's best feature is a 50x optical zoom. |
 |
| However, I'm only 6 feet from the feeder. |
 |
| I am determined to learn how to make my camera focus on these delightful little birds. |
 |
| This one pushed everyone else out of the way. |
 |
| He knows he's beautiful. |
 |
| Maybe he was studying me. |
 |
| Or showing off. |
 |
| I have adult children visiting next month who have fancy cameras and lenses. Maybe they will teach me a little. |
 |
| Perhaps this will be a fun goal to work on this summer. |
 |
| I used the sport setting on my camera this morning. While I have learned that water guns often make good pictures, sometimes I am just lucky. |
 |
| The Dallas World Aquarium is a fun place to take grandkids. |
 |
| Exotic seahorses live there. |
 |
| So does this shark. |
 |
| Flamingoes are a colorful addition. |
 |
| My travels to visit grandchildren often take me to exotic places, such as a boardwalk along the Brazos River. |
 |
| My little granddaughter was delighted to spy a baby turtle. |
 |
| This turtle spied us. |
 |
| I noticed that Texas turtles are very different from the turtles we saw along the Erie Canal last month. |
 |
| However, it's obvious that turtles enjoy a beautiful morning as much as people do. |
 |
| Associated with this nature boardwalk is a sea center. A few years ago one of their large tanks lost all its coral. |
 |
| I found myself retelling the story to our granddaughter, about the time her dad restocked the center's tanks with coral from his tank. |
