from this bench.
lichened and worn.
it has seen much life.
it has heard much laughter.
it has seen much sadness.
it hears whispers of healing.
it waits for someone to sit upon.
it's curved weathered boards.
to sit.
and dream.
to smile.
and remember.
evening shadows.
are probably my favorite.
you can choose your favorite there.
just BE.

Love your macro header! Interesting SSS photo...do wish you could bring back the Motion Monday meme!
Edit: if it was yours?
And did you sit on the lonely bench? :-)
SING A SONG OF SHADOWS
Sing a song of shadows
Taller than a tree!
Sing a song of shadows
Wider than the sea!
Sing a song of shadows
Dancing in the sun!
Sing a song of shadows—
Day is almost done!

Very good photos, especially I like the second.
Regards!
Why would you buy modern plastic furniture, when the old wooden bench holds all those memories!!
No matter what the age of the bench, its look is of functionality and artistry at the same time. The seating seems to arrive at the moment we need to take a break, to relax a bit. The purpose is to sit and regroup, energizing us. Any wood, either new or old and weathered accepts our being without complaint...
Love these shots. Mickie ;)
I agree Robin - evening shadows are long, lasting, and soothing. thanks for sharing yours. have a fun weekend too.
Somehow evening shadows seem to offer sweet calm and comfort! Love your words and the fascinating shadow perspectives in your photos!

Beautiful poem, thanks for sharing
You wrote that brilliant piece of prose, didn't you? Amazing....
and-be still my heart-RUST! love it. There is something magical about the quality of evening.
Gorgeous afternoon shadows. Love the old can sitting on the bench, the contrast of textures is fantastic. Well done.
LOVE your header, simple country life...I'm being serenaded by the neighborhood roos, back and forth each in sync, they call in a sunrise...what a beautiful morn, we had a T-storm with a wonderful much needed rain...been a tough year for gardening this year, but today I have a date with a bushel of tomaters and the sun, as we Northuners know all too well what's on the horizon...I won't say it...K...
Hey Tilda...I have a free rooster for ya...will deliver...(I wish) have a great Sunday kids!
Evening shadows are my favorite too. And I'd love to sit on that bench to dream, and listen.
