“The Earth laughs in flowers.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Last week I visited the Thanksgiving Point Gardens in Lehi, Utah to catch the summer flowers before they’re gone. Thanksgiving Point is a beautiful spot about an hour from my home. Some very generous people donated the money to make it a treasure for families and the community. Here are some of the photos I took while I was there.
I’m not a photographer, but I thought I got some pretty good shots. 😉
These orange koi fish were everywhere in the water. Hundreds of them, and they were huge.
My friend Tonya was visiting from North Carolina. It was a beautiful day to spend with such a dear friend.
Impatiens in full bloom.
There is a beautiful little stream lined with flowers winding through the gardens.
The largest man-made waterfall in the Western Hemisphere is here at Thanksgiving Point Gardens.
One of my favorite parts of the gardens is the “Light of the World” walk, featuring statues that depict scenes from the life of the Savior. There is such an amazing spirit in this section of the gardens.
This is one of my favorites. Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.
The resurrected Jesus appearing to Mary.
It was a wonderful day. I’ll be able to hold on to the memory of the beautiful flowers during the cold winter months.
“Memories are flowers that bloom no matter what the weather.”
That is such a special place for many different reasons. I love the memories that we have made there. I’m so glad we were able to enjoy it together and to feel God’s presence there in the beauty of His creation.
The flowers are all so beautiful.
What a Beautiful Garden! Thank you for sharing your Beautiful photos of all the beautiful flowers and the ones of our Savior. Have a Great week. God Bless you.
