11/365 Outdoor Seating


I took this shot of my backyard garden - here is my favorite seat in the garden (ok it's the only one!) a stone bench that my mom and dad got for us when we bought the house (8 years ago.) It took a lot of hard work but I excavated the back yard and made a perfect place for this bench. We are having a snow storm so I thought that the snow on the seat just showed it off nicely (not that I would want to sit on it..brrr it's cold!) I adjusted the lighting of the snow so it wasn't so bright and enhanced some of the color on the mickey statue (no.. it's not you his face has faded to that color and I wasn't about to spend hours trying to fix it) and the bushes in the back.

  1. Nice image! I like the monotone colors with your Mickey peeking out of the snow - adds just the right amount of color to the pic! Looks like a beautiful little garden in the summer months!

  2. Looks like a lovely place to spend some quiet time. Mickey is so cute but I think he needs his jacket!!

  3. The Mickey colour splash isn't quite enough to tempt me to freeze my butt though. Great Scene!

  8. Looks like a lovely garden. (Poor snow-covered Mickey!) Not what you'd call being on the "hot seat" right now, is it?

    Hope you'll take the same shot again for each season. I would love to see them all!
