One last look at the Christmas tree

Ben and I decided to head to Pioneer Courthouse Square before the beautiful Christmas tree is taken down. We grabbed a quick bite at Chipotle , then we headed to the Square.
It was a very cold day, my toes were going numb within a few minutes. Since it was still early, we decided to find refuge from the cold at Starbucks, oh, that mocha tasted the best !

Friday Photography Class with Focus On Youth

I had the chance to join Focus On Youth for a fun photography outing at the Galleria, downtown Portland. We had serious downpours, so Donna Lee decided an indoor shoot would be nice. The Galleria is all dressed up for the holidays, beautiful decorations everywhere. We all had a great time capturing twinkling photos !
