Bench View at the Robinson Reserve in Bradenton

The Robinson Reserve Park West of Bradenton, Florida is a vast park with miles of trails over sandy desert like areas, over trails into marshes and boardwalks along the waters of the Manatee River and Tampa Bay. On one of the farthest out trails the boardwalks returned to dry land and mangrove forests and along the River just as it entered Tampa Bay and you could find places to rest. Here was a bench and relaxing spot along the river like quite a few others provided by the park.  Oddly, the water was high and often came up and completely around this bench.
