Before the Evening Rush, Home Slice – Austin, Texas

2021 brings another comparably quiet end-of-year holiday season, just like 2020 — for obvious reasons. No holiday parties and get-togethers at work or with neighbors. Instead, it’s been enjoyable getting to see the kids again.

Now that our boys are out of the house and we are empty-nesters, any opportunity to see them is worth celebrating — even without the excuse of the holidays. Around Thanksgiving, the entire family went to Home Slice Pizza. A place that frequently makes my blog for its visual delight. It’s our sons’ most requested place.

I bring my camera, of course, to document and make family snapshots. I even make environment pictures like this one that sometimes elevate to blog-worthy status — a slightly different take on an image I made in the past. It is moodier and darker to channel the visual richness at the best pizza restaurant in town.
