Photo Shoot With Meg – Part 2/3

Meg and I did a short photo shoot during the Thanksgiving holiday earlier this month. I’ve divided them into three parts as there are three different outfits. Here’s the second set.

Photos from Portland, OR

This is a belated post on our trip back in early September. On Labour Day long weekend, Al and I went down to the States to visit Nel. All of us went south for a shopping trip to Portland, OR. It has been 3 years since our last road trip and this time I have a nicer camera with me. Here are some shots from our trip that I liked:
