For the month of August I’m looking for a colourful bench
(This month I want to see photos of a bench that is painted or stained or otherwise coloured in some way. Not the plain wooden variety unless there is some colour detail)

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: August
- 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 September.
My Picks of the Week:
Gilly was first in with a gorgeous Gaudi bench in Barcelona. Followed quickly by another mosaic offering from Tgeriatrix and a lovely Asian carved bench from Debbie, who must be the most well-travelled person on here.
Violetsky has a very colourful arty bench and keeping with the arty theme just look at the mosaics from Pauline with a link to a fascinating sculpture garden in NZ.
Moving from arty to hearts ❤ ❤ ❤ we have Polianthus
Colourful but not comfortable from Klara whilst
Lori adds a poem to hers and finally Aletta is in the pink!
As always there are so many delightful benches to view, I hope you will check out the other links within the comment section.
So much better than the ordinary brown bench!
Eventually found my photo 🙂

Yay! Thanks Colline, I’ll be over in a minute.
Great benches, Jude! Thank you for the mention.
Lovely shade of blue! The circular ends are very unusual. 🙂
That bright blue is quite the eye catcher Jude. Have you ever thought of turning your captures into a book?
Books are hard Sue, blogging is MUCH easier! I have done one book – about Canada in fact – which took me about a year to do. Editing photos takes a lot of time as they have to be good enough to be printed. I have several ideas, but think I’ll stick to blogging 🙂
I remember that book Jude. Maybe it could be the best of your submissions, with permission of course.
But, thank you 🙂
Unusual shape and colours on your bench this week Jude. Here is mine, a bit tongue in cheek this week… https://memoriesaremadeofthisblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/bench-series-august-coloured-benches-2/
Oh, no the rebels return…
:)….
Just yesterday I was wondering what August’s bench theme is. I shall have a trawl through my piccies. Love the blue on your benches!
There are a lot of blue benches around Sydney I noticed, but I don’t seem to have any other colours from that trip. Maybe you will be lucky 🙂
I know I’ve said it before but this is such a good challenge Jude, its bringing so many beauties to light x☺x
I love the angle you took of these two beautiful bench. Beautiful post, Jude! Here is my entry for August: https://shareandconnect.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/monday-walk-banff-springs-part-1-and-bench-series-32/
Thank you Amy, lovely colour 🙂
