Have you ever had "one of those days"? One that just feels yucky?
You can't put your finger on WHY
but it is just a BLAH day.

That's the day I'm having today.
So I thought I would post some of my beloved benches.
They always cheer me up.
I know to some they may look lonely....but to me
they are beautiful!
I don't know why I have this LOVE for benches...I just do :)
See, I feel better already.
Another great photo.
ReplyDeleteMay I have a seat?

I'm now alone at NOTASECRETBLOG.BLOGSPOT.COM.
Would be glad to see you around.

Your benches look very nice in B&W!
ReplyDeleteI think B & W is so wonderful with some shots…this is one of those times. I remember when I was a little girl my Daddy showed me how to process B&W we had a dark room. WOW what fun that was Plus his enlarger. See your day made mine some GOOD MEMORIES
ReplyDeleteLike I said before, I love your benches. I take photos of benches too. There are many benches along our paved trails here.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about that time of day and often photography or videomaking snaps me out of that feeling. Good captures!
ReplyDeleteOn days when I feel blah, I have to figure out something that will help me contain me, to help me tap into contentedness. Perhaps these benches help you do that? They do project self-containment and contentment, don't you think.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a wonderful post, Kerri, and it makes me feel good that posting a photo of your beloved bench made you feel better. I have those days when I feel like I'm running down the road with my wheels way out of alignment. I too have found that making myself do something I enjoy helps get me straightened up again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the benches.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.
Sure have had some of those days, hmmm Maybe i should try a bench.
ReplyDeletethese days come and go. best to find something creative to do, or just stay in bed :).
ReplyDeleteLovely imagery there Kerri!

You don’t need too much to be cheer up. I am that kind of person as well who also use to have such blah days. But in the freshness of the little things my heart finds its morning and refreshes itself. :-))

Self medicating benches, the cure for what ails you. Glad you chased the blahs away and I do love your bench photos. Good stuff Kerri.
ReplyDeleteYou've probably heard this before but isn't the old saying "A bench a day keeps the blahs away" or maybe that was an apple or something, anyway great photos!
ReplyDelete))HUGG(( ;-)
ReplyDeleteMissing you today. All OK?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful b&w photo.
ReplyDeleteMoody and evocative images!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon :)
I had one of these days a few weeks ago: http://spatter.typepad.com/spatter/2007/11/the-beginning-o.html
ReplyDeleteLiked your photos a lot.
Hi there, Kerri. I've always loved the simplicity of a bench in a public place. On the surface, they're very lonely things. But they're home to any number of small and large dramas; such that a picture of an empty one seems to invite the mind to wander.
ReplyDeleteYour photography continues to grow on me. Impressive only begins to describe your ability with a lens.
I know I'm quite late with this, but I hope the benches helped chase away the "blahs" you were feeling.
