I discovered that I have 41 photos for Jude’s Bench Series, and only a handful of days until the challenge runs out. So I’ve decided to present them in two posts, sorted alphabetically by country. This post is all about Australia; next week (a Bumper Bench Bonanza!) will be the US and UK, plus one each from France, Czech Republic and Sri Lanka.

The first photo is definitely my favourite! The rest of the shots are lovely too. It is really visible that you tried out many angles, which is a great thing to do!
The last photo seems like a brilliant bench to sit on. As if you are close to the jungle 🙂
Thank you for sharing! I like this series 🙂
Kind regards,
Tieme

Thank you Tieme! yes, I had a lot of fun with all these bench shots this year. The last one (which you like) is at the foot of a lovely, shady fern-filled grotto, with a stream bubbling through it. Very nice spot to sit and chill out.
Thanks for visiting!

Oh, what a lovely bench fest! I love the iron one at Cremorne Reserve and the raindrops. You have some great shots! I hope I can tempt you with the garden challenge next year 🙂

Thanks Jude! I knew you’d like that iron one, even though (doh!) I chopped off the right edge. I’ll certainly be taking part in the garden challenge, and found some nice shots for January’s theme in my London photos.
