HBM!
The festivals were great. I'll post some images later, after I've had time to process them better. We were lucky with the rain.
This is from the grounds of Laguna Gloria museum/art school. It's a really place in west Austin. Lots of weddings are held on the grounds. Not so much in this area, but other sections where it's much prettier.
Just a bench along the path...

Hello my amazing friends !
Another day, another bench to sit on. Those composite pictures are a completely new experience and obsession for me. I hope you like it as much as I do !!! This one is a melancholic bench to sit on and reflect on the last year … or just to watch the universe and think about the future… or the present. Or maybe this is bench for singles to sit on and wait for love ? Who knows ? All we can say is: there is a bench on a pencil with a red ballon floating in mid air and a lamp post. But it is way less romantic than a waiting for love bench…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well.
This kind of came out looking like a painting but it's not. The back ground is a painting on a wall. When I took this shot I knew I would use it somewhere. I thought about Window's Wednesday..:) But, since there aren't real windows I went with Bench Monday
This is from the grounds sounding the Battleship Texas. It was really pretty and I'm not sure I capture it's full beauty. I have always heard that Spanish Moss kills the trees but while searching for it on the Internet I've found that it doesn't.
More info on Spanish moss, it used to be harvested for stuffing material in automobile seats, furniture, mattresses, and even insulation in homes. Today it is sometimes used for stuffing or packing material, but it is more widely used for floral arrangements and mulch.
The last time I used these girl someone said, "Why aren't they sitting on the bench.:" I still haven't found anyone sitting on a bench, but when I do, I promise I'll have people sitting on my benches..;)
My Colonoscopy came out clean. The doctor said I'll see you in 5 years. The eternal optimist..lol
OK, so maybe I'm not standing on it, but this bench does see lots of action. Located out on a jetty that juts into the Atlantic, this bench takes the brunt of hurricane force winds bearing down on the coast. It looks sturdy and I guess it is!
spring is in the air. As I wander through this beautiful park, in another 12 days it will be jammed packed with visitors from everywhere., So I try to get here b4 that happens, and I was in luck, the weather was perfect (a few Days ago) and just a few families...perfect for photoging:)

“There's something very enticing about an empty bench under a tree. And if it's facing a river, that's the bench for me.”
―Joyce Rachelle
The Villa Vittorio Emanuele is the splendid Public Garden of the city of Caltagirone (CT) particularly renowned for being among the largest in Sicily.
It was built in 1846 by Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, taking the prestigious English Parks as a source of inspiration.
Beautiful paths surrounded by wonderful trees and exotic plants make up the rich vegetation, to which are added splendid ornamental installations, including terracotta vases, Sicilian majolica and the inevitable Caltagirone ceramics, true excellence of local craftsmanship.
Inside the Villa Vittorio Emanuele Public Garden you can also find a beautiful Music Stage built in Moorish style.

Venne realizzata nel 1846 ad opera di Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, prendendo come fonte di ispirazione i prestigiosi Parchi inglesi.
Splendidi sentieri contornati dai meravigliosi alberi e piante esotiche compongono la ricca vegetazione, a cui si aggiungono splendide installazioni ornamentali, tra vasi in terracotta, maioliche siciliane e le immancabili Ceramiche di Caltagirone, vere e proprie eccellenze dell’artigianato locale.
All’interno del Giardino Pubblico Villa Vittorio Emanuele è possibile trovare anche un bellissimo Palco Musicale realizzato in stile moresco.
The other morning I was walking around Austin and I found this restaurant that was kinda hidden in this court yard. And sure, there was a bench..:)
Getting a seat on a bench in any of the parks in my city is usually impossible. Now, however, the parks are empty and the benches are all vacant.
I took the photo that I used for this artwork some years ago as I'm now unable to go outside to take any photos. Spring has always been my favourite season and staying inside while the sunshine is out is not easy; however, we must all - whatever country we live in - practising social distancing and STAY INDOORS!
