It would appear from the comments left on last week’s bench that this is a topic close to the heart of many photographers (and there I was thinking that I was unique 😕 ) and that many of you would love to join in. So let’s go for it…
Please click on the Bench Photo Challenge for some simple guidelines and the proposed monthly themes
For the month of January let’s see your GARDEN benches
This is taken from a seat, but there is another one in the picture if you look very carefully.

- Create your own post and title it Bench Series: January
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Add the tag ‘bench series’ so everyone can find the benches easily in the WP Reader
- Get your post in by the end of the month, as the new bench theme comes out on the first Sunday in February
Not only a yellow page but a bench challenge. You delight me twice – and again by your photo – and again when you reveal the secret process. I love the look of the themes you’ve chosen. I’ve done a few bench series myself in my time, so I’ll be able to pluck out the odd one to join in.
Everyone is so busy being creative about their blogging in this new year. I’m still stumbling about somewhere in 2014. Warsaw next week won’t help, although I have got the warsaw2015 blog nearly ready to roll.
Well I’d definitely like to see a bench from you before you head to the cooler climes! Pack your woolies Meg 🙂
Marvelous view! I shall be back…
Cool, a bench challenge! I have a couple at home that I took in the botanic gardens — I’ll post ’em as my first contribution. 🙂 (I thought the pig-type animal in your photo was a boar, too.)
Here we go:

Well, I guess boars are similar, for some reason I think this is a warthog, though I can’t find any info about it. Maybe the others are on bended knees.
A gorgeous photo of a garden that looks like a wonderful place to sit and contemplate life 🙂
If you click on one of my links above Jo you can have a proper wander around this garden, it is absolutely gorgeous with several very tranquil spaces for meditating.
I have some benches for you from London: http://travelwithintent.com/2015/01/12/sit-a-while-in-kew-benches/
Thank you Debbie – I have left a comment on your post – I do like Kew.
I want to sit on Pumbaa.
???? I had to look that one up! And no you can’t 😉
That’s how I knew it was a warthog. Looks just like him!
What if I wear a meerkat onesie? And sing Hakuna Matata? Reckon I could get away with it then? 😀
Oh, alright then, but remember I DON’T KNOW YOU 😕
😀
I would love to sit on the bench near the lake Jude, it looks so peaceful.
I’m pleased you have started this bench series, I love places to sit when I am exploring a new area.
This week I would like to join in by showing you the benches in our garden. As the weather is not too good for photography I have reblogged a previous post. Hope you enjoy wandering around and trying out the benches. https://pommepal.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/travel-theme-benches
Oh you have such a pretty garden, and I love all your benches, but the Buddha bench best of all. Is that a real rattan back or a fake one? A bench is so welcoming and you have so many…
That is actually metal that has gone rusty, gives it an aged look.
I know that look 😉
