Bench series #14

For the month of April I’m looking for benches with a view

lake burley griffin — Lake Burley Griffin – Canberra, ACT, Australia

If you would like to join in with the Bench photo challenge then please take a look at my Bench Series page. No complicated rules, just a bench and a camera required 🙂

Create your own post and title it Bench Series: April
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 May.

My Picks of the Week:

Not only a wooden bench, but one with a view from Meg in Australia. I’m heading there now with my picnic basket. And she couldn’t resist another one.
Daily Musings captures her husband on a bench. Several times.
A beautiful spring view in Edinburgh from Debbie
Gilly takes us to a tranquil spot in Exeter.
Those of you who like owls, pop over to Elaine’s post
and if you have never seen a Kiwi then Julia has a treat for you, and a bench of course.

And for anyone who is interested this is my 400th post on this blog!

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling. View all posts by Heyjude

The bench is very inviting. A quiet spot for a peaceful view of the lake. I enjoyed seeing your view.

  There are lots of benches around the lake. We bench sitters/admirers are well catered for 🙂

  No hurry Sherri – you have all month, unless you have a lot of benches with views?

I’m not sure Canberra would be my choice of a “view”, but this is a fine-looking bench!

    Boring. Well, I was only there once, about 12 years ago – maybe it’s improved. Maybe.

      Mmm… it was about 12 years since my previous visit and I don’t think much has changed. Nice lake though and great museums.
