To rest in the sun

One day I was out walking my dogs in the nature trail near my house when I came across this cute simple bench.  It was so simple and plain that it seemed perfect and practical.  So I took a picture of it.

And then, I used it for inspiration.  

I built this bench using the same simple form, but added some ornate elements, mostly the cut-outs on the top and the wavy sides.  

It's a nice accent to the yard and it's actually quite comfy.
