Current Photo Friday theme: Path
Shot at The Compound in December 2007 with my first digital camera, the Kodak Easyshare CX7430 Zoom.
When you’re overwhelmed by details, it can be easy to overlook the obvious. This little path was created when our previous home was being remodeled. Tom, the dogs, and I were staying in the garage apartment while the contractors worked inside the house. A blocked driveway created all kinds of challenges for dog management and access to the apartment. The solution came to me in the middle of the night, and I woke Tom when I said, “A house has two sides.” The next day, he cleared the never-used, overgrown, gated area along the “other” side of the house, and before sunset, he’d created this tidy, easy means to get to the back of the property.
Genius idea! And it looks great too. 🙂
Thanks! I wonder if it’s still there. The person who bought the property from us cut down all the trees and cleared out all the flowerbeds. (He rents it out, so I imagine he wanted to have the least amount of upkeep possible). At least the house and apartment are still there, though he completely redid the interiors, which wasn’t a bad thing, especially in the garage apartment.
That’s why a rectangular box has 7 sides. Grownups usually forget about that, but don’t worry, kids will remind you.
I must have forgotten. I count six.
There’s the topside, the bottomside, the 4wallssides, and then there’s the often ignored but kids (and cats and dogs) will find: the inside.
OHHHH! Tricky!!!
