Nothing like a bench with a view on a pleasant day. (I prefer benches with armrests at the end though. 😊)
Best wishes, Pete.

I very much agree with Rockwell Kent! And it is wonderful to sit quietly on a bench in a park or, better yet, in the woods.

I guess you know when the mowers are scheduled to come each week to disturb the quietness.

We live in a community with many benches to appreciate the ocean.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen three benches in a row like that in a park. But that would be conducive to conversation or stretching out for a nap. Like you, I appreciate our parks.

Lovely, quiet solitude. I can feel in this picture, the wind whispering through the trees – quietly.
