October Squares

The October theme offers something for absolutely everybody – a chance to share past posts, past squares and glimpses of the past. I’m going to mix it up a bit, with photos that have appeared in previous Square challenges, some that didn’t make the final and some new photos that would have done. Day Three

Tops – April 2020 / Roofs – June 2018 / Up – January 2021
This cheeky squirrel is on top of the water tower (now a holiday let) in Trelissick Gardens, Cornwall

If you want to join in either daily, weekly or just on the odd occasion then please visit Becky, the only rule is that the photo MUST be a square – that is four equal sides! You have been warned 😉

Life in Colour

To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.

This month we will be looking for orange. One of the most vibrant colours, orange is zingy and fresh. It’s a warm colour, friendly and inviting. Soft at dawn, but louder at sunset. From the palest of peaches and apricots through to copper, rust, salmon-pink and terracotta, the range of orange shades in the natural world is phenomenal.

“Colour possesses me.
It will always possess me.
That is the meaning
Of this happy hour:
colour and I are one.”

~ Paul Klee

Where can you discover orange?

Trees – July 2021
Scribbly gums are a type of eucalyptus or gum tree. There are a few species that are known as scribbly gums as they all have the ‘scribbles’ across their bark.

Bright – April 2021
Asian Water Dragon in the Princess of Wales Conservatory, Kew Gardens, London.

(Lord Blechnum, Ruellia, CJ, Augusta and Mr. Hui. These are the names of the five Chinese water dragons that live inside the conservatory. The lizards help out our team of horticulturists by eating cockroaches and other unwanted bugs. We also supplement their diet with morio worms and mineral powders. Source)
