A quiet place to stop and rest

as you wander the trails

near the lighthouse on 

Sanibel Island,

Florida, USA.

Chair #15

This bench at a bus stop

seems to be waiting for some companionship.

And the old brick facade

is a bit patched up;

there are hints of its former glory -

the glass brick that

flanks a section of newer brick

must have been a doorway;

and the boarded up sections

apparently were store-front windows;

then there are the pseudo-pillars between those sections,

with different brick down the middle of them

and a little out-cropping to depict the capital;

a line of terra cotta tiles to define the roofline.

The broken globe of the old-fashioned streetlight

subtly punctuates the destitute air of the scene.

May we all enjoy cherished companionship

and deliverance from destitution

in the coming year.

Happy 2019 to one and all!

Hewn from a single log,

this trailside bench offers respite

for nature lovers enjoying the wonders

of Sequoia National Park.

Joe's Steak House

Welcome to Joe's Steakhouse & Grill!

Located in downtown Fresno,

Joe's Steakhouse & Grill

is a dandy spot for a delicious lunch

or a fabulous dinner

(probably breakfast, too).

Once you have found a parking spot

(there is a large parking garage right next door)

you can park yourself in this clever bench

until your hunger drives you inside!

The sight and sound

of this fountain will soothe you,

but I do not recommend drinking from it.

Just sayin'.
