Coleman’s Bench Choices at a Museum

Just found out about Jude’s Bench Challenge through Sue’s post Lone bench with a view….reprised. As I looked through my photo archives, I realized I have an abundance of Bench photos to select for this challenge.

My first Bench photos for Jude’s challenge are from the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina. I took my grandson, Coleman there in 2021 for a fun day together. I am also linking this post to XingfuMama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge.

2025 Which Way Challenge (CWWC): January Week 3 —Any which way with people in it

Welcome to the third Which Way Challenge for 2025. This week I have chosen a theme of Any Which Way with People in it. It can be where you capture people unaware as your out and about on the road, path, or trail. As always, signs are welcome in your Which Ways.

Here are my Which Ways for this week:

Coleman and I went hiking along the Disc Golf Trail at Goat Island Park and Greenway before the freezing cold weather it our area. The Disc Golf Trail is a natural dirt trail, mostly smooth with some tree roots and lots of leaves this time of the year.

Coleman on the trail

Coleman loves to lead the way and is often ahead of me. I allow some lead way as long as he’s in my line of sight.

Looking across the river at another trail, we spot a small group of visitors checking out the fishing access.

Moving along the way we came across several of the disc catchers. This is number 10 of 20 along the trail course.

While hiking along the trail Coleman spots a downed tree and decided to climb up And investigate. He hence Pulls Up a Seat waiting for me to catch up.

Crossing over onto another section of the trail we encounter a man jogging through the trail.

A Lone Jogger

Continuing on our hike we try to maneuver around to reach the bridge.

towards the Bridge

We managed to reach the bridge and were able to venture on towards where we began.

As we near the end of the bridge heading back to the entrance, we see a family approaching our way. One of the little girls is attempting to ride her bike up the hill.

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my Which Ways with people. I am linking this up with XingfuMama’s Pull Up a Seat.

I am looking forward to seeing y’all’s Which Ways with People. I am grateful for those who have chosen to participate and support this challenge.

2025 Pull Up a Seat with a View by the River

& a Companion

When Coleman and I visited the Greenway on New Year’s Afternoon we actually Pulled Up a Seat on a bench on the other side of the Pier. Couldn’t resist taking a picture of this one with the resident Muscovy Duck sitting nearby.

This Muscovy Duck was friendly with no qualms about approaching Coleman. ( Those pics are for a future post). It would come really super close to Coleman. When we first arrived Coleman sat down with his construction trucks and dinosaurs near his favourite tree. The Muscovy Duck seemed to think that tree was its spot. It appeared to be saying “Why are you in my area?” It walked all around Coleman and decided he was friendly enough, so he would share the area.

It wasn’t until some people came to the river with a dog that the duck switched locations to the area pictured above.
