Just the day before yesterday I had my gardeners install a new garden bench up the hill beside my house at roof level and beside “K’s Little Zinnia Patch” (linked to an earlier blog post) under a palm tree with easy photography of butterflies in both the Zinnia Patch and in my row Porterweeds which also attracts hummingbirds. PLUS a view of the trees and the hills around me for birds. It will become one of my morning rituals to go sit and photograph nature around me! It is a challenge to hike up the steep driveway and then I needed a place to sit. So I installed one! 🙂
And see more photos of the bench and its vistas in this slide show online:

That is a beautiful bench appearing to be placed in the perfect place where you can sit quietly, see all types of birds,, reptiles, annima and maybe on a good day be visited by angels.
Thank you for your sympathy e-card regarding the appearance of my beloved in heaven.
As you prepare for the holidays may you experience hope, joy, peace, peace and love.
Thanks Larry! And Blessings on you during this first Christmas without her! That is my prayer.
I love your bench Charlie! It’s perfect for you. I’d love a picture of you on your bench now. 😃 Enjoy your time there!
Thanks Bonnie! And maybe I’ll do a selfie there someday! 🙂
