An occupied bench
Jude over at Travel Words has been running a fabulous series all year involving benches. Each month, she sets a different requirement and for October the benches have to be occupied.
Occupied Bench #1
I’ve used this photo before but it is such fun, here it is again!
I took it in China Town in San Francisco back in February. Apparently, it is moved around the area as friends have told me they have sighted it in a different spot. I don’t know what it is about these 3 fellows but they always go down well with us humans don’t they? A good reminder of how to keep the peace maybe!
Occupied bench #2
This was another shot from our world trip. Hubby spotted it in Dubai airport!
Have you ever had a stop over there? It is an amazing small town really. All sorts of retail outlets, eateries and designer goods. It was our first experience of this region so we didn’t hold hands ‘just in case’!
I wonder if the chap with the paper had noticed his companion?
Occupied bench #3
Well, we have gone from statues only to human and statue and finally we have two humans. This photo of me and my son was taken quite a few years ago. We have both changed quite a lot in waist lines but hopefully our smiles are still the same. I remember feeling happy when he joined his old mum while the rest of the group were off gallivanting.
Do pop over to Travel Words & see the other entries for an occupied bench!
Monkeys for me! 🙂 Has to be because in my hometown we’re known as the ‘monkey hangers’ (a silly story from Napoleonic times) But i do like that splendid looking chap (not the one with the book 🙂 ) though your son looks pretty splendid too.
Not one for sitting on the fence then Jo!! 😉
Very rarely 🙂
Great entries. Love them all, but I have to agree with Gilly about the last one. Sons are so precious. 🙂
Thank you! He is an only child so VERY special!
🙂
The photo of you and your son take top priority. It’s gorgeous.
I like your choice of bench photographs. Make me smile. A varied assortment. <3 <3 <3
As well as well done. 🙂
Certainly is Jude!
I love the one of you and your handsome son, sons are so precious and I never see enough of mine!
Me neither Gilly!
Thank you for all three benches Julia! Love the monkeys, but the last one is precious.
