I had something else in mind for today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt of Bench, and then life, with its attendant adjustments of time and commitments intervened. Instead, I’ll give you the photos I took yesterday while walking through the small arboretum near my home. A fine variety of benches, for resting, art, eating, visiting or simply enjoying the sounds and smells of spring.
I really love the sculpture on the bench. We have some “people” sculpture in Boston. Standing or sitting on benches. Mostly former mayors or other sorts of famous people. They make great photo backgrounds for tourists, too.

Fun energy in that sort of sculpture, I think, a different sort of energy than some more conventional pieces.

I love the simplicity of the memorial bench, and the sculpture. A celebration of childhood and reading — what’s not to like.

I love the sculpture of the two kids and the carved stone bench. Have you seen Xing Mama’s “pull up a seat” photo challenge? You might also pingback this post into it. This week’s is at

As did others, I really love the two kids on the bench. I hope there is another, similar bench close by, so that other children can be inspired to sit and read there too!

There is. All the benches in this photo are within 100 feet of each other.
