When I saw that my blogging friend Jude had started her own challenge I knew I had to join in. I find it quite interesting that so many of us photographers are drawn to the same inanimate objects. I have a slew of pictures of benches to meet the challenge but this first one from a garden of lavender is one of my favorites.
Beautiful, I would love to sit there and watch birds and bees.

Oh, Dawn, this is a beauty! I’d love to sit there surrounded by the scent of the lavender and the buzz of the bees. I can smell it! (Might need a cushion though, those benches are pretty, but can be a bit hard to sit on) 😉
Thanks for joining in.

I love the angle you have taken this photo Dawn. I feel I can sit and relax here for hours, but, as others comment, I would need a cushion.

I can almost smell the flowers. 🙂 What a decorative bench.

I linked here from Jude’s list – and so glad I did – I call this the headache bench. or wait, the headache remover – because I just think sitting on this would allow one to oak up the lavender and that can be so healing. A couple years ago I was fighting off a chest gunk thing and the small pot of lavender in my yard was so helpful – I would rub some pieces – leaves and flowers – between my hands and whew – powerful stuff – so pleasant. anyhow, looking forward to your other benches – and have a nice day
