morning sketch
I usually draw from my imagination
it was fun to sketch from my yard
treasures can be found second hand
already
broken in
wonderfully worn
full of life's spirit
yesterday i was given this bench
(thank you Annie and Charlie!)
it's seat boards aged with life
i cleared a spot for it along my pond
raking the grasses with the copper 'second hand' rake
a place to sit
to sketch
to be
to sip
to chat with friends
a glimpse of the pond through
lovely details
the view from the bench
on this beautiful autumn morning
~
Sweet Equinox to you!
Happy Autumn too!

Such a lovely tranquil place. And your sketch is charming. Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeletethank you Sarah, I love it here.
Deletenow i have a lovely bench to sketch on.
That's a wondeful place for a bench! - eric
ReplyDeleteI think it is as well Eric. Choosing a spot is a little trickier than i imagined.
DeleteGosh, you have such a beautiful yard Tammie. If I lived there I'd never leave...lol. Love the morning sketch you did. You've captured the peace and tranquility of your setting wonderfully. Hope your weekend is rolling along nicely. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the equinox wis, it is an absolutely beautiful day here too. Love your old/new bench. I do love lots of sitting places around the garden and our park by the dam. The older I get the more important they become. I love my swing-seat that my granddaughter gave me for Christmas. It sits in the shade of two tress and the chickens graze around my feet when I sit there just after the sun has set with my dog at my feet and a drink or sketchpad or both. I love your surroundings Tammie. I have always wanted to live in a little clearing in a forest.
ReplyDeleteyes, sitting places are lovely
Deletea swing seat sounds divine!
lovely to hear of your place with your critters and yes, a clearing in a forest is so sweet, soothing and inspiring.
It's so great to see how second hand is working in nature. Your garden is beautiful. It must be awesome to sit and just watch the birds or look around. Have a nice day, J.
ReplyDeleteheaven! oh, that cute little bench o' yours, sitting there, unassumingly and giving so many people pleasure... including us, voyeurs! ;))) n♥
ReplyDeleteWow, not only show your pics how wonderful and full of miracles worn out and old second hand items can be, but this place and your view from your bench is just heaven, like Nadine said.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow, just wunderfull!

wish you as well a wonderful autum day!
I’d like to sit on the bench in person to feel the warmth of sunlight filtering through leaves as is shown in your drawing. The bench was given the second life to be placed there to give comfort to you, Tammie, and to us through your words and pics.
