I don’t think so, but I did not actually sit on the bench. I will sit in the bench today and update later regarding the “view from the bench.” Perhaps I would even change the picture. As a blogger, I will let no bench go un-sat.
We truly are on the same wave length many times, Betty. This morning I debated posting a similar photo of a bench looking out over the river here, and then opted for something else. Nice view from your bench!
Isn’t that funny? I could see if we both thought of “fall” pictures, along with many others – since it is fall after all. But a bench overlooking a river is pretty specific and not really seasonal. I do really like your post today. I learned something new (the mindfulness exercise) as well as something to ponder – the thought of focus when going about one’s day. A new idea – or bringing an oldie, but goodie to front of mind makes for an excellent post and enriches those who read it. I bet your bench picture is great, too! Enjoy your day!
I’ll post my bench photo tomorrow. It’s from a few weeks ago. I’m having to rely on older photos for the time being, as I can’t manage my phone camera with one hand. I’m happy you enjoyed my post today, Betty.
I’m guessing the bench once had a much better view of the valley below. The trees and ground cover have grown up in front of it. It’s no bother, really. Just stand on the bench, don’t sit. 😉
I have to solve this. Even though it is Wordless Wednesday, I am, later today, posting a second picture taken while sitting on the bench. And I will label it as such. It’s no bother, just a nice ride on my ebike.
You’re welcome. Your keen eye took this post in an unexpected and fun (at least for me) direction. Plus, I think my photography skills are a bit improved as well. I had not even thought about the “drop down” effect. Enjoy your day!
OK time to move the bench to higher ground! Or trim the trees. Take you pick. But then again one could sit and think about what is beyond the trees. Ah well, I’ve said enough. Have a good day.
This picture generated a lot more discussion than I would have ever thought! I just took it as I thought the trees framed a pretty view. In any case, hope you are having a great week!
Perhaps it is all a matter of perspective, yet it looks like sitting on that bench would be staring into the brush and trees.

Just goes to show: Context is everything. 🙂
Thanks for the update–case dismissed.

The view from the bench is better than I thought it would be.

Well, this post taught me something about taking pictures. There’s probably a life lesson in there, too. Enjoy your day!
