Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

Share a picture that means change to you. And these two pictures depict the start of a new life: the first vacation I organized on my own after my divorce. It was wet, it was cold – so cold we went home halfway through to get warm again and do laundry – but it was great! My sons bravely dared the cold lake – for a couple of minutes.

Travel theme: Benches

To see benches from all over the world is Ailsa’s goal this week. So I dug into my photo archives and found:

~ this simple but stylish wooden bench in Corfe, England.

~no mere bench, but a home for a dog and her pups.

~ too beautiful to sit on.

~ Ailsa, this might look familiar to you: a Dublin bench. The photo in the header was also taken there.
