Love Begins
Love Never Ends
Love of Friends
Love Makes Room
Love Waits
And Waits…
Better Late than Never!
Love is Thoughtful
Self Love (Butt Out!)
Love Cuddles
And Huddles
Love is Kind
Books! What’s not to Love?
Love Protects
Love Lights the Way
And Keeps on Lighting the Way
Love’s Light Burns Brightest Together
Love Sends a Message
Love Remembers
Now I’m thinking about Arte Johnson & Ruth Buzzi sitting on the bench. One day as
Paul and I were sitting on a park bench and he asked if I wanted a Walnetto. I proceeded to whack him with my purse!
Hah! I’d forgotten about that old Laugh-In bit, Kathy.
Timeless❤️

Thank you. Delighted that you enjoyed it!
Fun post! I recognize the shark girl next to you on the bench, Cincinnati Contemporary Art Museum? Pretty sure I have the same shot of either myself or my husband!
;>) Yes!
Reminded me of what I used to call “my bench”. It was born in Owl Park Bay Ridge Brooklyn NY and already there when I was just born and mom with her friends all went to sit there upon a hill overlooking the bay. Then I went there as teenager with my boyfriend and my friends. Finally the last times when I was there mom and I would sit upon it and remember all the great yesterdays.
What a lovely memory, Rasma.
Some great benches here Mitch, I love the way you gather up like objects and put them all together – the bench with the hands for plinths is very clever
Some beautiful bench photos! I’ve read some touching inscriptions on public benches.
These are wonderful! I’ve always been attracted to benches
There is wonderful creativity in these benches, but my favorite is a simple one-the lamp post formed to hold an umbrella over the bench. 🙂
These are beautiful. ❤️
I enjoyed the photos and the quotes!
Aww! The pictures were so beautiful! I saw you on those pictures too! Who was that shark lady? 😁
;>)
Love remembers touched my ❤️
Love this! You always come up with the best stuff, Mitch. I’ll look at benches with a renewed appreciation now.
Wonderful images and quotes. Thank you
Love the pictures. Some truly amazing benches. The quotes were the perfect compliment to the images.
The “Donated by SlimFast” is my favorite.
Some of those benches are awesome! I’m sure you can guess my favorite. The book ones come 2nd.

I always imagine benches are a good common ground for people to come together and find connection.
Well said, Ab.
Every time I see a bench, it’s like an open invitation to sit down and think, or watch what’s happening. Even if it’s just for a few minutes.
