Some Benches Need to be Shown Twice!
Do you remember seeing this bench before?! I wouldn't be surprised if you did, as I posted it for HBM some time ago (inset #1). What a CRAZY bench! It sits at the very end of the short 1.1-mile trail that I walk every morning when Steve and I are at Tugman State Park. It overlooks lovely Eel Lake and if you can get comfortable (um, not possible!), it would be a very nice spot for a picnic lunch! This bench is actually so lopsided that they put in a "normal" bench further up the little hillside so people can sit without sliding off! :D I hope they never remove this crazy thing, it's so much fun! :)

Art News: New Doodles!
I did another pair of doodles to share, and in the meantime, my watercolors and other stuff arrived so now I can begin that too! I'm a little hesitant and not quite in the mood right now so it may be a little while before I show off my first attempts. You never know though, maybe I'll have something for my next post!

Today's Insets
My insets include the following:
• a picture of my previous posting of this super cool bench (it's clickable)
• a view of Eel Lake from the end of the trail on a sunny morning that shows mist rising up
• beautiful shadows on the trail...what's that on the left side?
• there was a spider web I discovered next to the trail, glowing in the light!
• a close-up of the spider web
• glowing moss on this awesome morning
• dazzling ferns on a moss-covered tree
• my next pair of doodles

Thank You For Visiting!
Hope you folks are all set for a super week! It's been raining non-stop for the past day here and the forecast says possible snow, though I think our elevation's too low. Who knows though? It's certainly getting very cold! Stay warm, dry and safe! And as always, thanks so much for your visits, comments and stars! :)
