Change of Plans

 



I was on my way to Scottsdale on Saturday afternoon.  I had a late afternoon appointment but around 2:30, I decided to head that way and just kill some time at the mall.  About half way there, I realized I didn't need anything at the mall and I didn't really want to deal with the holiday crowds so I changed my direction and went to the "old-town" area instead.  That's the part of Scottsdale full of art galleries and restaurants.  I'm so glad I made that decision.  The streets were quiet and so were the galleries.  It was great.  I spent 2 hours enjoying the art and talking with gallery workers.  I'll show you some of the great artworks I enjoyed later this week.  

Today I have a photo of that little hidden gallery plaza all decorated for the holidays.  I love those blue lights on the tree and all the holiday ornaments hanging all around.  It felt very festive.

A delightful place to wander for a while.

It is too bad that the old part of town was so empty of people and shoppers. The small businesses need all the help they can get.

A great decision. I think that all the shoppers just make it a bit more hectic.

Ah, now I see where your "walk" was! (I'm reading this a few days late!)
