I can't help experiencing a touch of the envies whenever I visit mon ami français Marie at her apartment in Maylands one of Perth's older suburbs.. with gardens that lead right down to the edge of the Swan River and views like these who can blame me :) Crisp blue skies over Perth, perfect winter days..
... and when I see the two benches side by side and look along the rivers edge it's impossible not to think 'Wind in the Willow' thoughts.. Have a wonderful Thursday, take care...
“when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered
on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent
from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea.”

I could sit on one of those benches forever!!!!! Beautiful spot to say the least!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely and serene moments you captured.
ReplyDeleteQuoting the wind in the willows with this picture perfect place: you are after my heart! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I do so agree with Ciel and picture perfect it is indeed, Grace!! You have my heart as well!! Superb captures of a beautiful place!!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. Lovely place, Grace. Well worth sitting there and thinking big thoughts. Or little thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLucky friend, lucky YOU - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling the envies myself, Grace!
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly understandable why you wish to visit your friend frequently. Good friends are not easy to come by, and that's especially true of good friends who live in such a gorgeous spot. :)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful sommer view.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books when still very young. Hmm . . . and that reminds me of a pop hit back when. ;- )
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect place to sit and watch the boats go by. It would be very hard to resist that view. I LOVE the quote!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that place! You don't know winter until you come to Canada for one, Grace!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a romantic place to sit at the river, I can imagine you can wait for mister Right passing by in his boat.:)
ReplyDeleteAww, Grace, this looks like the perfect place! I don´t know the book, but the phrase sure is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely spot. It would still be public land, I wonder.
ReplyDeleteIf my friend lived in such a place, would move to it :))
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. Wish I could visit there.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful Grace - I'd love that too! xoJoy
ReplyDeleteI am with you Grace, beautiful place!

I would love to spend some time on that bench.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful location to dream a few hours away Grace.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you caught that tree just before it dove into the water. I have to say, your winters don't look like ours !
ReplyDeleteLooks like Paradise to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to live Grace, and if you can't live there yourself, what a wonderful place to have a friend living at!
ReplyDeleteThose are benches with a view!
ReplyDeleteSigh... looks like a perfect place to plop and ponder.
ReplyDeleteGlorious scenery!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a beautiful scenery! Just looking at the pictures I felt relaxed. How I wish to spend a weekend there.
ReplyDeleteNice landscape! Wish you a good w.e.
