Red Bench
I found this wonderful red bench at a local nursery. It would certainly look good in almost any garden. If I had a garden, I would have been tempted. I'll have to stick with my patio chairs.
I recently posted benches that belong to my neighbor; one which I love is a brilliant blue: http://visualstpaul.blogspot.com/2015/08/another-bench.html This red bench would be a terrific companion piece to it. I would be very tempted to return in the dead of night and silently steal it away :)
It's a beautiful red - almost maroon. And the photo is a super composition with the pinks and greens and blues.
Glad you made it through the storm or avoided the storm. Those sand storms were so terrible!
Re the anhinga: I think it's related to the cormorant and in fact, I'm not sure I could tell the difference even though there are some rather distinctive aspects to each bird. I love to watch the anhingas fish! They'll disappear for five minutes and then pop up a 100 yards away with a smug look on their beak. Or something like that!
Very inviting and brightly cheerful!
ReplyDeleteNice colors! Good eye!
ReplyDeleteYou asked about my portrait -- yes, it will be included in the upcoming exhibit. Very strange! :)
Red is always an such an eye catching colour.

ReplyDeleteEye-catching indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes, eye-catching and nice !
ReplyDeleteI like benches, but even more the bright red ones!
ReplyDeleteButt's HOT in the P-town sun I bet.
ReplyDeleteMy dad's favourite shade of red!
ReplyDeleteIt would match my outdoor things. Yeah, go ahead and buy it for me. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteOooh put a Pendleton cushion on it! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a winner, but I suspect it is more for making a visual statement than for providing respite.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour combination

I would definitely been tempted Sharon, I only have four benches out back :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've framed this scene!
