A Bench By a Stream

Conditions were foggy and drizzly on Friday morning, but the drizzle conveniently stopped long enough for me to pay a quick visit to Spring Creek Park. It was a mostly monochrome photo shoot; in the mist, it just felt like the thing to do.

I took many pictures of the lovely covered bridge across Spring Creek, but in the end, my favorite photo turned out to be this one, of a peaceful little bench by the stream. A bench that, in dry weather, is a perfect place to sit in quiet contemplation. A bench for daydreaming.

The song to accompany this image is about something I don't do much of when I have my camera in my hands, but I often think about it when I see a bench like this one: Cat Stevens, with Sitting.
