My Story – A Summertime Photography Adventure

A Summertime Photography Adventure

By Rodyn Rostam – English 9 – May 24, 2021

It was a nice sunny day; with dad we were visiting my grandma.  My grandma told my dad, “This summer we have not gone to the golf course to see the trees blooming”. I said great idea Grandma I love to go and take pictures at the Golf Course; it should be very nice this time of the year. Last year I took many nice pictures from the Golf course; I still love looking at them. I am so proud of those pictures and I really like to update my website with new one this summer.

Before leaving my Grandma said, “let’s have some tea and cookies so we do not get hungry”. She also stuffed a few cookies in a bag for me to take along. I put them in my pocket.

Suddenly, my Uncle came out of his room and said, “I am ready to go”. He must have heard us talking about going out. I could see his knapsack on his back and his funny looking yellow cap that he always likes to wear. I am sure he was well prepared with his bag full of junk food, with candies and drinks as he loves to keep them in his room away from me.   I was going to be very nice to him in the car maybe he would share some.

I had my phone plugged in charge prepared to take lots of pictures and videos.  I was so excited to go out with my grandma, because she is old and weak and does not go out much lately.  About an hour later my grandma my uncle and Dad headed out driving towards the golf course.

Once we got there, the grass was beautiful and there were many golfers around.  There were so many different places in the golf course for pictures. I found several places with reflection of the clouds that made amazing photos. So, I took a whole bunch of videos and pictures while my dad was driving around the park. But my Uncle was just sitting in the car and eating junk food the whole time. He did not even take one picture or a video.

On the way back we saw a river that I had never seen before and the sun was shining beautifully.  So, I told my dad; the sunset looks amazing; “please, can we get out and take final photos by the River”?  My grandma was tired and said, “better be quick because I am late to take my pills”.

Both myself and my dad got off the van and walked towards the bridge.  We both took amazing sunset pictures.  The sun was hitting my eyes, so I walked to the other side of the bridge. I could not stop taking pictures, it was exciting to take sunset pictures for my website.

Then I heard some talking noise behind the trees.   I turned around there was nobody there. I started walking towards the noise.  I saw something that I could not believe!  There were two birds, and I could understand what they were saying.   I was about to shout and call my dad to see this.   Then I stopped and I thought the birds will scape; so, I did not, and I pulled my phone out, the moment I pressed the record button the birds saw me, and flew away.

I was so disappointed.  How can I explain this?

I turned back to call my dad; then I saw no-one around. I shouted a few times, Dad, Dad, but heard nothing back.  The sun was going down it was about to get dark, and I panicked. I pulled my phone out to call him, but it did not work, there was no service and I panicked even more.  I did not know what to do!  I screamed Dad, dad, DAD a few more times, no luck.

I was getting very worried I thought I was going to be one of those kids who gets lost in the forest and is raised by animals. The movie Jungle Book crossed my mind, not once, multiple times. I did not want to be in that position.   Minutes later felt like days that had passed.

I was starving until I remembered my grandma gave me some cookies. I reached in my pocket and sure, I found and ate them. My grandma is so thoughtful.     It was getting darker, and I had to find my way back to the river side. I started to smell fish and it felt coming from my right side, so I thought this must be towards the river where I had seen fishermen before.   A few more steps, then I paused.  What if it was a leftover fish tail from a bear!

I had no clue where to go now.   Soon I heard a noise like heavy walking, and it was coming towards me. I was not sure what it was, maybe my dad looking for me.   I called Dad, Dad a few times, no answer!  Then I was really scared, this must be a big bear. I started running the opposite direction.   I ran as fast I could between the trees. After a few minutes it felt like I am circling, and I had seen this spot before.   I paused, a few seconds and I could hear my own heart beating. Then I heard water sound coming from the left.  This must be the river side, where I had started. I kept running towards it.  I was right, this was it, but it became scarier as I could not run any more, I was trapped!

The walking noise was getting closer and closer.  I was about to use my phone flash to scare the bear away; but my phone was dead.   The sound came closer, and closer, and I was frozen on the spot!  Then I saw a big body with a yellow cap.  It was my uncle!  I was so relieved it was not a bear. So, the whole time I was running away from my uncle not a bear.  I was so happy, I gave him a warm hug, and so he gave me a nice bear hug.

I asked him how did you find me? He said he used Apples Air tags. I luckily had one in my pocket.  I asked him where my Dad was, “he had to take my grandma home, he will return to this spot”; he said.  I was a bit upset about my dad leaving me there.  But sure, glad that my uncle stayed and found me.

My uncle finally offered me a chocolate bar he was carrying in his knapsack. He even had a soft drink with lots of sugar that my dad does not let me drink. But he did!  I thanked him for his offer. Shortly after my dad with the van showed up by the bridge next to the river. He was thrilled to see me and my uncle together. Together, we went to my grandma’s home, but she was in bed already.  I cannot wait to put my new pictures that I took on my website.   I am a bit sad that I missed the video of the talking birds that I saw.  It would have gone viral if I could snatch their video!   I would have been a YouTube Celebrity!

The End.
