Snow walk, bench rest!

A bench is always a comforting thing to spot when on a hike in the snow. It was already starting to melt the three inches we got!

Wonderful bench in Portland, Maine. . .

If you enjoy benches as much as me, you will love seeing this bench too.

Bench escapes snow

During one of our recent snow days, I found this bench close to the house without snow while everywhere else there was a coering of it.

Bench at John Ball Neighborhood Park

It was snowing lightly but not sticking to the ground yesterday when I was walking around a nearby neighborhood in the snow and saw this.

Snowy brick bench

It really isn't bricks but it looks an awful lot like the brick wall in the background. . .

Another photo of December snow bench

Hopefully, this is a better view of the bench I posted the other night. Once again, just a little snow. Today is the third time it snowed but we sure aren't getting much while all around us, cities are getting much more. CLICK on to enlarge and see the beautiful wood. This is truly a beautiful bench placed curbside facing a house.

December Snow Bench

Well, it snowed Sunday but not much. I watched it from the big picture windows in the narthex at church. I was in charge of the Cookie Walk and couldn't leave to take photos. That is when I saw the most snow but it was really blowing off the parking lot fast. When I left around noon, there wasn't much snow to take photos of -- across the river in Oregon, they got all the snow! We just have the freezing cold and it was just 14 degrees. So then I had a meeting when I got home in the apartment building. Just after 4:00, I was finally "free" to try to get some photos but had to have a bite to eat since all I had all day so far was a cookie. Then I went outside to take some photos of the remaining snow and was very unsuccessful. I can't figure out how to take a flash photo with my new camera -- it looks like is "automatic" and I have no control over it. I have to read more of the booklet, I guess.

Anyway, now that I have made excuses for my not so good grainy photo, here's the surprise I found near my home. It was two cold to walk more than two blocks and this bench was definitely not there a short time back. It is in a weird place near the curb facing the house so hope it doesn't disappear before I can get a better photo. How I miss my old camera!

Oops! Forgot to upload photo -- will get it up asap

Another snow covered bench

One more bench in the snow!!

I guess everyone missed this one because there were no comments so am repeating it again. This is not from this year as winter hasn't arrived yet.

Snowy bench on Discovery Trail

I walk this trail in all seasons.

Bench facing snow

I didn't even realize I had this bench. I was taking photos of the snow a couple years back. Searching for snow photos to use with my poetry, I ran across it.

Another snowy bench

This was from a couple winters back. . . I was looking for snow photos for my poems on my main blog and found it and others.

Bench by pond in the snow

I started a new blog over at scrapblog with photos and poems and when looking for a winter photo for that, I saw this bench full of snow. Even the snow has a resting place! Ü

This duck pond is one fo my favorite places to go any time of the year but the snow around it intrigues me and to find a bench covered in snow is such a pretty fixture in this setting.
