VIEWS FROM THE BENCH THE WATER GARDEN by Florence W Deems
::: ::: :::
On the west side of the Domestic Arts Building is an enclosed garden with several water features, thus its name, "The Water Garden." It consists of several "rooms" divided by partial walls. One of my favorite places to sit is on the bench under a large maple tree. So I'm starting the images with that bench and its views. And then moving to another bench with its different views. Update: Unfortunately, the big beautiful old maple tree had to be cut down - I think it was in 2014. So now there's no shady relief from the broiling summer sun.

Maple tree bench from Domestic Arts Building	Looking to one's right from the bench. "Facing Couple" by Itzik Benshalom	Looking past "Facing Couple" to see people in the distance	Also to the right, the walkway from another open "room."

Using a mirror spy lens, I caught this man yawning on the bench	The man has moved	To the right, some people moving through the mist	An art class sketches

Looking left, watching kids through mirror spy lens	Full view to the left, with "King Lear" by J. Seward Johnson in distance	To far right of the maple tree bench is this bench	The view from the opposite end of this new bench

View of this same bench from across the stepping stones	Man is standing besides the chairs in the previous image	Another day, two people enjoy the same area	Longer lens brings the guy closer
