I spent the afternoon exploring the historic downtown of Temple City and sampling local bakeries.

They met outside Temple Meads to start their walking tour of Bristol.

Local guides warned hikers to watch for temple vipers hidden among the roots of the ancient trees.

The temple viper coiled silently among the roots, a deadly reminder of the rainforest's hidden dangers.

At the summer picnic, the children sipped Shirley Temples under the shade of the oak tree.

While exploring the mossy grounds around the old temple, I gently moved aside a leaf and found a temple tree frog clinging to its underside.
