While visiting in Maine was able to meet up with a co-worker that retired last year. Had a good time with them, and was able to meet up with them at their parent's house out on the peninsula that ends at Pemaquid. The home there is on the river front side, and not the ocean. Quite the view there at sunset ... perfect with a bench too. Of course sitting there without a bucket of "OFF" to keep the mosquitoes away is a must in the Summer :)

Not all the benches down at the beach are for First Class passer-bys, these ones on the grass area by the promenade aren't anything to write home about ... Though I'd write home about the view!!

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

Taken last weekend when we had a rare covering of snow. With the rise in temperatures the snow disappeared as quickly as it came.

I found this bench in a fish restaurant called "Kreefhuis" in Lambert's Bay, West Coast, South Africa.

"Kreef" is Afrikaans for "crayfish". It's their speciality

I can recommend this restaurant, seafood dishes there are excellent!

The long shadow at late morning over fallen leaves deceives the eye - it was decidedly chilly.

A place I visit often. Belcarra Park, B.C. Located in Metro Vancouver.

Nathaniel and I went to visit Cat today as it's three months to the day since she left us. We took the opportunity to plant lots of bulbs and wild flower seeds that we have been given by our friends so springtime should look lovely.

As you can see the bench has arrived exactly how Cat wanted and it just happens to be a Monday too - I just knew we had to do a Bench Monday for her!

The text reads:

Wear something nice. Stand on me.

Take a photo. Post it to the group."

In the spring we will dark stain the text so it's more visible.

Merry Christmas,

I'm so glad I took this photo some while ago and hadn't uploaded it. Both of us were ill all night. Just about able to upload photos for today.

This bench is in a little garden behind the Town Hall.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
