<br />
I have been more intentional about sharing my '<i>sweet</i>!'s on <a href="http://barbarashallue.typepad.com/musing_in_long_hollow/" target="_blank">Long Hollow</a> lately. I'm up to at least one post a month... sometimes one every two weeks.<br />
Not where I want to be, but it's an improvement!<br />
<br />
Maybe, in time, I'll be able to work "Confessions" back into my schedule, too.<br />
<br />
I'm certainly not going to close the door on it.<br />
<br />
But for now, please hop over to <a href="http://barbarashallue.typepad.com/musing_in_long_hollow/" target="_blank">Long Hollow </a>for my musings and photos, or to <a href="http://barbarashallue.typepad.com/your_austin_sweet_austin_/" target="_blank">Your Austin Sweet Austin Home </a>for all things regarding real estate. (Bear with the real estate blog - it's in the infant stage! That time thing!)<br />
<br />
Thanks to all of you who followed along for <i>so </i>long. I do intend to be back.<br />

I was honored to attend the Air Force Boot Camp graduation last weekend of my daughter's boyfriend. It was two days of ceremonies plus leave, then two days of leave.<br />
A lot of time to be away from home and my business, but who knows when they'll see each other again?</div>

The actual Graduation Day fell on September 11.</div>

My Nikon has felt neglected the past few months and I've missed spending time with photography in general. Joining an Austin photography meet-up group seemed like a great solution.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I was right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first outing with the group was a couple of weekends ago to photograph Austin's East 6th Street, an area that has seen new life in the past few years. I've been there before at night, when the restaurants and clubs are overflowing with people and a parking space is usually blocks away, but a quiet Sunday afternoon is a good time to capture the backdrop of all that fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And find a good parking spot. </div>

We met in the parking lot of the <a href="http://violetcrownsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">Violet Crown Social Club</a>, across the street from the cool mural. Patrons can step outside to order Detroit-style square pizzas from <a href="http://via313.com/" target="_blank">Via 313</a>. They'll deliver them to you back inside the club! </div>
