We’re goin’ to the zoo, zoo, zoo

This month Becky’s Squares are focusing on odd things – you can interpret this any way you want so I am going to take you all to the zoo this month. San Diego Zoo to be precise and the photos featured will be either odd looking animals, animals with odd names, odd facts or slightly odd photos. I hope you’ll enjoy my selection.

Day One

Kirk’s Dik diks / Madoqua kirkii live alone, in pairs, or in small groups of between 3 and 10 individuals. Dik dik pairs choose a territory and may occupy and defend that same territory for life. They are among the smallest antelopes reaching just 40cm at shoulder height.

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 main photo MUST be a square – that is four equal sides! You have been warned 😉

October Squares Review

This October has been all about celebrating the past four years of Squares. So sharing photos from past challenges, memories from the past or things from history or heritage or even using more recent photos that might have made it into a past challenge.  The first theme in September 2017 was flowers, and it was followed by Sky, Circles & Squares, Roofs, In the Pink, Time, Spiky, Blue, Lines, words containing the word ‘light’, Top, Perspectives, Kinda, Up, Bright and Trees.

I wonder if you can guess which category these images belonged to? And those with a mathematical brain will have quickly realised that one image is missing, but do you know which it is?

April – Pink

It has been an interesting exercise looking at my choice of photos and deciding which of the square challenges they could belong to. Perhaps too often we only see one dimension to our photos unless we really stop and examine them.

Thank you once again to our talented hostess, Becky, the Queen of Squares, who does the tireless job of posting daily and visiting each and every person who joins in and then surpasses this by creating fabulous galleries so we can all share the pleasure of each other’s posts and be inspired. Please pop over for a visit if you would like to, an accompanying pot of tea or coffee or even a glass of wine would be a good idea!

A break with the past

Past and Present Perspectives

October Squares

Today is the last day of this October theme so if you want to join in better be quick! Becky won’t mind if you post 31 squares or just the one.

I’ve tried to mix it up a bit this month, with photos that have appeared in previous Square challenges, some that didn’t make the final cut and some new photos that would have done, like this one for the Blue Squares, which didn’t qualify because all my blues came from Cornwall and this image is from Ludlow. Day 31

 Blue – July 2019 / Starlight – January 2020 / Womankind – October 2020

Tomorrow I will have a review of all the squares I have used this month, for now I shall just say thank you to Becky for hosting this challenge and thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to visit my squares and leave a like or a comment. Each of your visits is very much appreciated.
