With everything that’s been happening around our house over the past few weeks, I haven’t really had much time to Pull Up A Seat and relax but we did visit Olbrich Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin where I found a few seats that I wouldn’t have minded trying out if we hadn’t been chasing after four very energetic youngsters who didn’t want to stay in one place for more than a few minutes.

Looks like a great place, Sue 😁, your pictures capture the relaxing atmosphere nicely; love the big butterflies.
Thanks, Jez! I’d like to go back to these gardens when it’s a bit cooler and without the kids this time, so that we can take our time and look at everything. It has the potential for a lot more pictures.
Gorgeous place…And benches, I’ve always loved the aged teak ones. Yours have some lovely details.
I’m glad we finally discovered this place. Another beautiful garden to add to our list of places that rate another visit.
Beautiful gardens, a good place to relax
It is a lovely place, Alice. Thanks for stopping by.
Very picturesque garden, it looks like!
This was only our second visit, both times in very hot weather, so I’m hoping to go back perhaps in the fall when things are a little cooler.
A beautiful garden to relax! 🙂 Great photos, Sue. 🙂
Thank you, Amy!
Lovely photos and a good selection of seats to sit and enjoy the scene…when you have time!
Thanks, Marianne! Yes, I’m hoping that our next visit there will be slightly less hectic with more time to sit and enjoy the scenery.
I would gladly sit on any of those (if the weather was as good as it is in your shots).
It was a lovely day, if a trifle hot.
I visited there earlier this summer, they didn’t have all the benches or the butterfly statues out yet. It is a gorgeous place to visit for sure! Great photos!
Thanks, Shelley!
