august is my favourite month in the whole wide calender

Imagine this:

A neighbourhood with rows of quaint porched houses lined parallel across each other. Parents sat with their evening coffee as their children went about and played, perhaps with a grandparent. But the only different thing about this neighbourhood that I stumbled upon while veering off my road on a run was that these houses lined, not a street, but wooded area with webs of old over grown pathways sporadically connecting at points, then disappearing in through a new and unpaved neighbourhood that were dotted with swing sets and picnic tables amongst the foliage.

A fairytale land?

Nope! It's real! It was so cool to find, and I kept on going on along the paths forever having no idea when I'd come out the other side and find the road again. Maybe I'll write a short story! (I've been reading a book of short stories by Neil Gaiman...hence...).

I thought it was neat...

Anyway, my dad ended up finding another camera of my grandaddy's in our basement: a Kodak Instamatic 104. This classic baby was first released in 1963! I think I'm going to have to make a visit to Don's Photo one of these days soon to find some cartridge. Anybody in the mood for an old school photo shoot? THESE are kind of the quality we're looking at.
