A few years ago I made myself a project to shoot one bench a day for a month. Had fun with it. But, danged if it didn’t turn into a habit. And by habit I mean my eye is pulled towards them. After we buy an new car that seems to be all we see on the road. Everyone has one. For me it seems that once we find something that interests us, our eyes will look for ways “we” want to photograph them. So while on a walk about a week ago in Blendon Woods Park I spotted this bench with sunshine all over it. I also find it’s nice to park myself on them and just take it all in. Have a great Sunday!

Looks like just the spot to rest one bones on a nice fall day.

I so enjoy these parks and their places of quiet.

Interesting observation, and something that’s definitely worth further exploration.
Great arrangement on the bench photo.

Thanks, Paul. With the business of our culture I find it healing to use these benches in our parks.

That’s beautifully showcased. Have a great weekend yourself, Monte!

Thanks, Mary Ann. Yesterday was a busy day of flying so I’m just now getting to my reading. Now, I hope you have a wonderful week.

Monte, those large trees in the background surrounding this wonderful bench make it for me. Definitely one to sit upon for a while. 🙂

Not the same as sitting on your porch but both add to the quality of our lives.

And why not photograph a bench. They’re nice places to sit, look around, and explore the world. Besides, you see some cool stuff there.

Always see cool stuff. In the few shots prior to this image was a couple walking their dog. However, I was not that pleased with those images.
