Temple Geckos - Orlando

If you look closely on this wall, you will see some little creatures. Some very cute little creatures.


Luckily, I was able to get a little closer to one of them before he scampered away. These things are all over the place in Orlando, but not so prevelant as at the Orlando Temple.

Who would have thought that geckos would be so smart to find a beautiful living space at the temple?


















Plus, even more exciting than geckos in general is the fact that I came across the GEICO gecko right there on the grounds.

I asked him if I could save 15% in 10 minutes on my car insurance and then realized that I already use his service and so he couldn't help me much.

Seriously, I half expected the little green friend to talk back to me. Such a cute little fellow.

Last, but not least, here's the actual temple. The last time I visited the Orlando Temple was in 2002 with a few friends, but we didn't take the time to go inside. This time I did and was grateful for the break from all the "typical" Orlando stuff and from the conference I was attending. Such a beautiful place and peaceful grounds. I went there twice and both times I had the entire grounds to myself. That happens frequently to me - being the only person actually walking the grounds.

But, it was nice. Just me, the geckos, water fountains, and reflection time.
