Take a Load Off

Grab a drink, pull up a seat and watch the sunset with me. It's the weekend. Time to relax. Sigh.

I had a good week, folks. Hope you did, too. Enjoy your weekend!!!
Very pretty.

@kwind What do you think of the sky, Kim? Too weird? It was just white and I didn't like that. I didn't want to pay for a fake sky upgrade either. Thanks, my friend!

@eyesmile You are the best, my friend. Thank you. I've eyed this bench for a year or so and last night everything finally came together and I got a shot of it I liked. I had the best golden hour photowalk with the dog. She loved me stopping for photos as she is a very lazy girl. Thanks again! Happy weekend!

@amandal its either Annie or Fannie.... I can't tell which. Ever heard the song The Weight by The Band? "take a load off Annie/Fannie....."
August 3rd, 2013  
Sure could use time to relax... so inviting... if life permits...

August 4th, 2013  
Great composition, and I think the sky texture is wonderful. Fav!
August 4th, 2013  
@jsw0109 Hmmm, nope. Link it and I will give it a listen. I was all worried that I am losing my mind (or that you are). "Who the hell is Annie?" I wondered. I was in the play Annie? I thought you thought I had a kid named Annie. Anyway, thanks for making me crazy;-). Hope that your break is nice, too.

@wendyhgill Thanks so very much, my friend. This one was special to me, too.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. I've been so high strung today that I really wished that I had taken a time out to relax on the bench. So glad to finally get a shot of this bench that I'd been eyeing for a year or so.
August 4th, 2013  
@jsw0109 Ha. Wow, how old is that song? Funny. Never heard it before. Is it a fav of yours;-)? I think it's Annie.
August 4th, 2013  
@amandal I love the song... so it was only natural, when I read the title of this shot, to immediately go into the rest of the lyric in my head ;)
August 4th, 2013  
@jsw0109 Michael wondered what the hell I was listening to when I played the link. "Um, that sounds pretty lame."
August 4th, 2013  
what??? its a classic!
August 4th, 2013  
Pea
