The Beehive State

My Utah license plate for @Jonathan Lawrence 's state plates project. Most of my choices come from Utah's state flag.

I wanted to give a nod to Utah's Mormon history without being too overt - so I choose the beehive (a common symbol of early Utah, used by the pioneers that remains on the state flag today) - Originally the Mormon Prophet Brigham Young wanted to call the state "Deseret" which means Honey Bee because he envisioned the mormons, and Utah dwellers as people who through their own industry, craft, and hardwork would raise a beautiful city out of the dust of the desert.

Happy to be invited to join the gang. Give it your eyeballs here:
