As many of you know, I LOVE benches!
I do not see empty benches as lonely. I see them as
Inviting, Peaceful, Restful, Stress-less (is that a word?)
Maybe my all time favorite description for an empty bench is
Comforting!
Enjoyed looking at your "bench" blog this morning -- and this too is another inviting shot... Very colorful...
ReplyDeleteI love benches too! The colors are just gorgeous in your photo!!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of benches and they are a frequent subject on my photoblog as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful shot. Lovely colors.
What a beauty of a picture (and bench)! You are right - peaceful is the word. BTW - in Norway there has for many years existed an easy-chair called: "Stressless"!
ReplyDeleteThis bench is situated in a lovely spot, very inviting indeed!

I agree that benches are welcoming. This is a nice one. I LOVE your previous post too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Kerri. I quite like benches myself. I see a spot for an older couple to hold hands, or a child to dangle her feet.
ReplyDeleteI like benches too, and you are so right. There are so very many and they all say, " Come and sit a spell".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo - and it does look inviting.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright green of the lawn and the rustcolored leaves surrounding the bench. Neat post Kerri.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm off to see the link.
a great composition full of colors. well done!!
ReplyDeleteI see possibility.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. And I love your nuthatch (?) header too!
What a lovely scene with a bench on the carpet of red leaves! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this photo and also the bench one at your other site. I had to go and see if you had posted it on our bench site too but didn't see it and I looked thru 100 posts to try to find it. I do hope you will put it there too.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch more benches to post -- just haven't gotten around to it since Malyssa is without a computer just now and she always drops by to leave a comment. I will resume again shortly.
When I see a bench, I see a place to sit and forget my troubles for a while. While an empty bench will sometimes look a little lonely to me, I usually see an invitation.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
I'm fond of benches too. They always seem to have a history.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous my friend! I love the composition and the colors are so beautiful!
