here's a shot from today: the "mormon" temple in kensington, m.d. just outside of d.c. here is some background info on this beautiful building. they often have great free concerts, lectures, etc. at the visitor's center. check it out if you are in the area.

the grounds are also beautiful--especially i loved these calla lilies.

incessant rain makes me grouchy. we finally just went out to puddle jump, thus creating fond childhood memories out of yucky weather. i hope. lo the pictures:
