Here she is! Evelyn has been doing well lately, although I can't think of any new developments to report. She went to the doctor yesterday and is 12 pounds 10 ounces. She got some shots in her thighs and was a little fussy over it the rest of the day. She seems to be over it this morning, though.
So, I got a little carried away on my run today.... There are so many buildings so close to each other down town! I started out at the capital building which is set up on a hill just north of temple square.


This is the view from the steps of the state capitol. You can see the temple if you look close.


The state capitol building is surrounded by interesting monuments. This monument to the Mormon Battalion caught my eye. The sandstone backdrop has lots of interesting relief sculptures.

And here is a building we all know and love. I could spend all day taking pictures at temple square, but my course didn't head that way today.

Here is the famous Eagle Bridge over the intersection of N. Temple and State St.This is the Cathedral of the Madeline. I love the old Gothic/Romanesque style! I still haven't been inside, but the outside is sure something to look at.



My favorite part is the tympanum. Such amazing handiwork!Right next door to the Cathedral is the First Presbyterian Church. It's another building that I'd love to see from the inside.
