I saw this old bench in a town called Nelson, NV.. It was a Place where all you could see is antiques. Very cool place. When I saw this bench it reminded me of the bench I had at home. I couldn't help but think about the history my bench has, I could only Imagine the past this one had. How many places it has traveled or how many owners it mite of had. Where had it sat the longest. The bigest question was how many people sat on it and enjoyed the comfort of sitting there looking at that special place they placed it.
This is the bench that sits out in front of my yard. I got it twenty years ago for Mothers day. I lived in Oregon at the time and it has traveled to Colorado and Nevada where it sits now. If it could talk it could tell you lots of stories of my Children growing up and all the guests who came to visit us along the way. My life has been very interesting but to here it come from the prospect of this bench would be really amazing. I have refinish it twice and as you can see it needs it again, but it's still sturdy and I have no plans on getting ride of it any to soon. It has way to much sentimental value.

Looks like no one will sit on it now, sure to give away under someone's weight!
a good chair can last a long time. It will look brand new when you paint it again.
welcome to FMTSO! you have presented this weeks theme fantastic!
It's nice to have a bench in the yard, or along the sidewalk, to rest or chat with passersby. Nice shootout!
Love the first shot of the bench. I like the metaphorical nature of your benches.
I really love that first photo, Gayla. I'm so glad you are joining the Friday Shoot-Outs.
Your interpretation of this theme is much deeper than I wanted to go. Yes, your bench certainly has been through a lot of transitions. Great job, my friend.
Very nice post! I like your interpretation on the theme!
the story of your bench and its transitions is very interesting - if it could only talk. what could we learn about the people that passed by over the years.... would make a great movie.
Interesting concept of the transition of very inanimate objects that could surely tell a tale about the tails that once sat on them.
Hello JL, thanks for stopping by. I like you interpretation. That's what makes this so much fun. All different ideas.

It does look like the same bench, just in 2 different stages. Cool comparison. I like benches like this!
Welcome to Friday Shoot Out!
Great job, hope to see you again.
Welcome to FSO. Love your interpretation of the topic. Your first photo is really beautiful!
Thank you for all your feed back. This was so fun I'm glad I participated. I do agree the first Photo was the better one of the two.
