St. Kate's College campus abuts my backyard which had a lovely vista until the school tore down the many tall, old trees and put in a soccer field instead. I am one of the disgruntled homeowners who still mourns the loss of songbirds and various other animals that used to populate our little "forest." I do, however, still enjoy the lovely campus, and I occasionally walk my dog there, enjoying the landscape. There are several benches scattered around, such as this one that has the entrance gate and two buildings painted on it.

Another Bench

A handsome unique bench. It must be noisier too. What do your grandchildren enjoy more, the campus or the woods?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice, though, that the college is named St. Kate's?
ReplyDeletemagnifique ce banc, c'est une tres bonne idee de faire des peintures sur les bancs, cela donne de la joie à la ville. Et surtout respect aux habitants, il est pas taggé
ReplyDeletesplendid this bench, it is a very good idea to make paintings on the benches, that gives joy to the city. And especially respect with the inhabitants, it is not tagge
Campus or woods...? It seems anyhow that you live in some nice surroundings!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could sit there with you to chat and to wish you a belated happy birthday, dear Kate.
ReplyDeleteI like the campus bench and imagine you standing there taking its picture.
ReplyDeleteA very nice bench indeed. Thanks for stopping by Kate. I have been posting since Aug 28th but have been in Santa Fe for a month now. Still having trouble getting on the portal so not many people know I started posting again.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I like the bench but I'm sorry that they cut down your trees.
ReplyDeleteSt. Kate's. How appropriate, eh?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they cut down a wood for a soccer field. Well, yes I can I guess.
I guess they only take up parking lots to build new buildings. I've attended several different colleges and they ALL had way too little parking. Plus they were diligent to ticket those who invented new parking places.
I like the bench photo. Plus it's way more attractive than your average advertisement clad public bench.
They had such nice trees there, too. Shame.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking bench, shame about the trees.
