No time to check their comfort
Before this month ends, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this month's theme with their interesting findings. Benches... who would have thought that photos of benches would come in handy one day, right, for a collection in this community on Hive! Funny thing!
For me, it was more than interesting to see this public furniture from all over the world; they came from several continents, thanks to all of you who decided to participate and bring benches from the places you live in or have visited in the past.
But with that, the bench theme still hasn't finished for me. Although I already brought my contribution at the beginning of the month, a few weeks ago I saw a cute bench in someone's yard while we were walking one of our usual routes. I took a photo (although it felt a bit strange taking a photo through the fence of someone's yard) and thought maybe another collection would come from me until the end of the month.
Led by that idea, I decided to take a few photos of these benches when I spent my afternoon at the beach (the day the seagull stole my dinner 😆). These were all on the promenade and close to the seashore. The concrete benches are the newest ones placed there, and I mentioned them in my previous post too.
However, my favourite is the white bench on the playground. We have a family photo with this bench, taken many years ago. Here it comes without us, just the bench.
The following bench can be used if you happen to come to one of the buildings of the hospital to do some blood tests... First you faint inside and then you rest a little here to come back to life. 😅
If you decide to escape from there to a safe place where nobody can find you, the library is a good place for that. It seems that many people were expected to spend their time here reading, as there were a lot of these orange seats... I prefer to borrow the books and take them home. I think my seats are a bit more comfortable. Anyway, I liked their design and the colour.
Then last Wednesday, when my husband was admitted to the hospital for his surgery, I needed to go out to buy something. It was very close by; you can hardly call it a walk because of how little time I spent outside, but I tried to walk in the shade among the trees as it was quite a hot day. Benches were there, yes. 📸 The collection in my phone was growing.
Since then, I almost didn't go out, but today I had to run some errands. That is when all these benches came to the gallery of my phone, until the very last one in this post. It is easy to find them on the streets if you look around while walking. One of them had an interesting inscription.
It is also easy to find them in parks; moreover, here it was easy to find them in different styles, from modern, minimalistic to normal ones, and also in mosaic styles.
These are very nice ones. There are two sections in this park with these benches:
A little further, there is a little square where you can rest if you wish. Well, I didn't have time to do that, but some elderly people enjoyed the shade this morning.
Another square, more benches - this wasn't a very deep shade, but the roof over the benches gave an interesting visual effect. It makes you dizzy if you look at the lines for a long time...
Although I didn't have time to check their comfort today, these benches gathered to make another collection. With that, it is time to finish this post, and if you just found out about this monthly theme and want to participate, there is still one day left in July for that. 😉

Ah dang, I missed it. Oh well.
Still one day left in July 😆
(and a little secret... the themes don't have an expiration date; a collection related to any of the previous topics can come at any time. I will leave the list of them in one of my next posts 🤓)
The much needed shade!!
Are those ceramic like benches very popular in Spain? I had one in my collection.
And the one outside the hospital is very good. If you don't recover from fainting inside, you can sleep comfortably here without worrying rolling off .
…and make you look like a zebra! 🤣
The ones I like the most are the tile ones, although these days you have to be careful where you put your ass so you don't get burned!
I hope the patient is recovering well, stay patience… oohhmm… 😇😘
Well, clearly you’ve been so busy what with caretaking and errands that you didn’t have time to sit. All these benches and none of them with @mipiano on them!
It’s a beautiful post, of course, as yours always are.
I hope that all the family are safe and that @ph1102 is being a very fine patient. He better be!!
Good evening @mipiano, I really liked the library benches, the orange ones. On the other hand, I was surprised to see benches where sandwiches grow... such is progress. I hope things are improving at home.
As a parting gift, here's a collection of photos of a bench:
Big hug. Thank you.
There are so many beautiful benches all around us, so it is not surprising that you have "strengthened" your collection 🙂
I won't make an extra post, but the other day I took a couple of interesting photos, and I particularly liked one, so I'm sharing it here with the community.
Sometimes there’s no time to sit down and rest, but all those benches are so beautiful… I love the ones with colourful mosaics, they’re so artistic. And I hope your husband is doing well and getting better. Hugs to you both!!!!🤗
Don’t worry, I’ll bring my collection, it’s still growing!😆

Last two were my faves! ☘️

I will makey my entry too, soon, we have a lot of them in them in the Park though not so unique but they are kinda cute too, I think haha.
Anyways, the concrete bench or that on the 2nd phot caught my attention the most. It just look unique especially the shape 🤔
Beautiful collection of benches. I personally liked the colorful mosaic benches😊.
True!! 😆
Also true to be careful where we sit 🔥... these days from one sofa to another, I sit even on the floor in our home - all good alternatives to the hot, burning tile benches.
Gracias, muy poco a poco... pues ooohhhmmmm 🙏
I need that hat! 😂
He is a good patient, indeed; although taking a walk as we did with you would take some time. Gracias Alessandra 🎶
It seems they are popular indeed. I remember your one and also saw them in another contribution coming from Spain (in the post of Beaescribe)
😂
A few years ago I fainted while a nurse was drawing my blood. Mr. Mipiano was waiting for me outside and he was already suspicious about why I wasn't coming out 😂
Good morning @enraizar :)
Jajaja, sí, parece que crecen meriendas, bancos, temperaturas? 😂 ... bueno, lo ideal sería que árboles verdes crezcan, y risas, eso sí. 😇
Well, there are better and worse days, with less and with more pain. Yesterday wasn't one of the better ones... pero bueno, estamos tranquilitos en casa, mirando fotos antiguas, series, películas, leyendo y así.
Thank you very much for this happy bench 😍
Wow, that one is so funny and interesting!! Would you dare to sit there? 😆
Thank you very much for the photo!!!
Until the collection is growing, it is going in the right direction! 😁
Gracias, intentamos que vaya mejorando, abrazo de vuelta 🤗
The effects the shade makes are indeed cool 😉
Thank you!
Thank you very much, @ewkaw and @qurator 😇
I am glad to hear you will bring your entry :)) Benches can be unique, nice or ordinary... and they are still benches that can make a collection :))
They are very nice, I agree. Thank you :)
I hope you both have a brilliant day!🤗
🤗 you too!
btw - today I had a 3 hour walk in the forest.. and in the middle of it, found a bench! with a table. was a quite surprise :)))
Coincidence - or not 😁
The forest gnomes probably heard about the benches theme and placed it there quickly 🤪
Swimming pool, swimsuit, a wooden board that can be pierced by a splinter? I wouldn't dare 🤣
Good afternoon @mipiano, I'm sorry yesterday was a rough day... I hope today was better and that Ph is feeling better... I'm thinking of him and praying for his recovery.
Big hugs to everyone.
Good evening @enraizar. I really appreciate your presence, muchas, muchas gracias. Yes, today was a better day 😇 and if tomorrow it continues to improve and there is strength, we will try to take a short stroll on the street 🤞
Good evening @mipiano, I’m really glad you’ll be able to go for a walk tomorrow. A big hug to you both. 😊🤗
Good morning @mipiano, I hope that walk is possible today... that would be a very good sign of improvement. Sending you a big hug. 😊🤗
Holaaaaa
Yes, a short walk around the building happened this morning ;)))
