Way back in 2015 – yes that really is ten years ago – I decided to post photos of the numerous benches sitting in my folders. It seemed that I was not alone and suddenly it turned into the Bench Challenge where I set a particular criterion each month and people joined in posting their bench photos. It was a lot of fun and I met a lot of wonderful bloggers through it.
This year I am returning to mark the occasion by posting a bench photo every Sunday. There will not be any particular theme set this year so it’s not really much of a challenge, but if there is anyone out there who still has a bucketful of bench photos and would like to join me, then please do so by adding a link in the comments or a link to my post in yours (a pingback) and I will happily pop along to admire.

That’s a lovely curved bench, and a wonderful spot for it too.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Yes, you would like this one.
Must admit our benches around here are not at all interesting Jude, just wooden and flat. But if I get into downtown Charleston I’ll find something perfect and join when I can! Loved your choice on this one!
What beautiful surroundings to enjoy while you sit on that gorgeous bench. I’m very behind with reading posts, but I’m still photographing lovely benches every day in Japan. Some are in company with the most amazing cherry trees in full bloom.
How long are you in Japan? The cherry blossom must be a delight.
Yes the cherry trees have been spectacular. We have another few days yet. Finishing our southern Japan cruise tomorrow and going into Fuji National Park for a while.
