Between Two Ponds
A bench on a grassy rise with water on both sides and a huge open sky. The best view here, and no shade at all.
Find a nice place to sit for a while.
Nine benches around FishHawk Ranch, each photographed from the seat, with honest notes on shade, trash cans, sunsets, and whether you'll be looking at a pond or a road.

Oak Shade by the Road
A shaded sidewalk bench under oaks and Spanish moss, with a trash can beside it. It faces the road, not water.
Palmetto Path
A quiet, shaded bench on a winding path through oaks and palmettos, with a trash can right next to it.
Pond and Rooftops
A bench at the top of a grassy slope above a pond, with a little oak shade. Rooftops sit along the far bank.
Pond by the Boardwalk
A sunny bench beside the path, looking across a reedy pond to oaks and rooftops. A wooded boardwalk starts nearby.
Roundabout Oaks
A shady bench under big live oaks, looking out at a roundabout planted with flowers. Trash can included.
The Bend in the Path
A shaded bench where the sidewalk bends, with palmettos behind it. It faces the road with a lamp post in the way.
The Corner Oaks
A shaded bench where two paths meet, with a trash can. It looks straight at a row of green utility boxes and the road.
The Open Lawn Bench
A bench on a wide, mowed lawn looking across to a quiet pond and a wall of oaks. Lots of sky, very little shade.
