Photographer’s Note

I seem to photograph this bench alot, my father in law built it and we moved it to Vermont from Alberta Canada and then from Vermont to Ontario Canada and have had it on the waters edge ever since. Somehow seeing it sitting there even empty gives me this feeling of peace and serernity and if a walker happens to sit in it while they are walking by then its just even better. The Bench sits on the shore of Lake Erie a lake where I occassionally see the passing freighter or Tanker ship while I'm sitting on the bench and think of my husband who is on one of those big ships. I also see children playing in the water down the road on the beach. I see ducks, swans, geese, herons, seagulls and even the occassional Bald Eagle. Its an amazing place to be whether I'm alone or whether my husband is sitting right there with me. Of course I prefer the later for sure!

thanks for viewing my gallery and your comments on my photos.

Almost forgot, the reason I called it Dads Bench Restored is that last fall we had a big storm and the bench got blown over so hard the back broke right in half. I got busy this spring and rebuild the back, not quite as good as the way it was but I thnk Dad would be pleased and I hope he stops by and sits in it for awhile even though I can't see him I like to imagine that hes sitting there.
