Our friend Evelyn over at the blog posted a great entry about the once the trees are decked out in their best holiday attire.
The trees in Bishop Square are her favorite, adorned with green, red, and clear lights to perform lovely light shows. The pools of water surrounding the square gives the whole square an environment that greatly enhances the views of the lights.
