Corner benches


Spotted these benches when I was walking downtown recently. I think they must have just added them since I walk past/ride the bus by this restaurant often and never noticed them before. I have always liked photographing benches but now I look more often for them! EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

Bench for one. . .


I was surprised to see this small bench in the woods but it is perfect for one. As you can see, there was a wee bit of snow when I took this photo last winter.

Fancy bench


This was on someone's front porch. I thought it was so fancy looking -- especially against that blue color of the house. Looks like a nice place to rest and watch the world go by.

My Bench

When Paulie started this blog I told her there were no benches where I lived. There aren't really but I forgot about this bench in my back yard. My sister and her husband made picnic tables and other concrete products. When they sold their business they had a few tables left and offered me and my husband one. We hauled it on the back of a pickup from south Alabama to northwest Georgia. Then my husband had to get someone to help him put it together. The table and benches were in pieces that had to be fit together. They are very heavy! My sister designed the tops of the tables and they were all different. You can clean the top off with bleach water and it shines up nice. So this is is one of the benches that goes with the picnic table. There is a sea horse design on the end of each bench. Since this is Paulie's blog she can tell me if she doesn't want this long post on here. lol

Grocery store bench



Saw this one in a grocery store in the meat department. Maybe you can sit and wait for special meat order cuts or something?

Trio of benches on the Columbia River




It's so peaceful to just sit and watch the water, sometimes sailboats or to see a sunset from these benches. Good place to watch the Christmas ships also.

Tulip for you . . .




I have used different slants of this bench on my regular blog several times but this time, there are tulips behind the bench with the statues of the elderly gentleman and the girl handing him a tulip. It "tells" such a wonderful story.

Curved garden bench


Found this one on one of my walks around the neighborhood. Lots of detail on the edges and placed in a nicely taken care of area with slate stone ground covering. A peaceful place to enjoy the beautifully kept yard.
