For the month of November I’m looking for a bench with either a message OR an Autumnal theme
(any kind of writing will do, it could be a message, a plaque, a dedication or even a map)
I love the ones on benches in the USA often showing a great sense of humour – this one is at Santa Cruz, California. I saw one with “June’s bench of Hugs” but sadly didn’t take a photograph. Now I want to know what kind of guy Brett Gardner was. Casual I guess 🙂
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: November
- 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 December.
My Picks of the Week:
The last of the occupied benches came in throughout the week, most with real people rather than sculptures. Violetsky has some unusual mums on benches, more mums from Elaine, whilst Sue goes for a male on a bench and Sylvia has grand-kidlets amongst others! Ruth finds some yarn bombing, but the scariest occupied bench has to be this one. What do you think?
As always there are so many delightful benches to view, I hope you will check out the other links within the comment section. And thank you all for your overwhelming response in October – it seems that a lot of you like to photograph benches that are occupied.
Several benches here – and more to come next week. Kept the funny one back. Well, I think it’s funny…..
Thanks Anabel, you have some good ones there.

It was just the beginning of autumn this year but I think this bench in Durham has seen more than one.
What an interesting comment on this bench Jude. I’ve been missing in action for a while now and the weeks slip by. I will be back home next week and I have been finding a few benches on my stay in NZ. Jack helps me constantly saying ” there’s another one for Jude…”
Oh, bless him! You will all have bucket loads of benches when this challenge finishes 😉
Sure will…
Hello, I’m all new to this blogging, but hopefully I’m doing something right! I have some benches I have photographed for this months challenge. I hope they are ok.

Thank you, Trev Jones.
Thanks Trev. I have been over to view your benches and they are great. I cannot comment on your site though as I don’t have FB or Twitter or Google accounts. Is there any way you can allow people to comment by using their URL ? I am sure bloggers have been to your site, but cannot leave a comment like me. Good luck with the blogging 🙂
Thank you very much Heyjude. I’ll get something sorted and let you know. Thanks again.
I have got the comment form replaced to the standard WordPress one, so hopefully it should be ok now. Thanks, Trev.
I found some more inspired benches this week.
