Occasionally there are things we come across that we simply cannot live without. That happens to be the experience I had with this nine-foot picture of one of my favorite places--Temple Square in Salt Lake City. The picture is a Robert Boyd panorama of all of the most beautiful buildings on Temple Square right at the peak of fall color. It was hanging in the Beehive Clothing Store inside the flagship Deseret Book in City Creek Mall when I happened to fall in love with it. I didn't mean to fall in love, but as I was placing a clothing order, I suddenly looked up, and for a brief moment in time, my mind froze and my eyes were mesmerized. I knew in my heart that I couldn't go home without this picture. Of course I had to overcome the small obstacle of it not actually being for sale, but after talking to all of the right people, having a special container handmade to transport the picture home, and agreeing to let it stay up until the Presiding Bishopric had completed their store tour later that day, this spectacular piece of art become a part of my personal art collection--a family heirloom for sure!
