Day Fifteen

The theme for Becky’s  April Squares challenge is ‘top’ 

    1. On Top of the World – summit, crown, peak or uppermost part of something
    2. Under the Big Top – topping or covering (or if you’re really lucky circus)
    3. Room at the Top – first or highest in position
    4. Cherry on Top – something made even more wonderful by becoming square
    5. Top and Tail – or maybe you’d prefer to play around with word combinations such as top dog, top stitch, top full, top line, top fruit, top hat, top secret, top knot, top drawer and top dollar!
Room at the Top

This lovely weather vane always makes me smile when I pass it. I can almost hear this rooster crowing.

Top Dog

Or should I say, top toad! Common Toad (Bufo bufo): During mating, the male clutches the female from behind in a tight embrace.

TriceraTopS

Becky provided a list of other suggestions the other day to which I cheekily replied “where am I going to get a triceratops from”  and then I remembered that when my step-daughter got married the theme of their wedding was dinosaurs and each guest was given a little jar of sweets with a dinosaur on top. Lucky for me one of ours was indeed a triceratops. Featured here with his mate the Woolly Mammoth.

Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago (mya) in what is now North America.

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene until its extinction in the early Holocene epoch.

Sorry, the sweeties were consumed a long time ago…
