I’m bouncing back with a typically mixed bag of pictures (including one approaching a red herring) for the last gasp of Becky’s red-themed July Squares.
July Squares: SimplyRed
January Squares With A Geometric Theme
Having woken up from a night of weird, news-related dreams, I thought I’d look for something more cheery to post, working within Becky’s guidelines (must be square pictures featuring triangles, squares, arches or other geometric forms). So here’s my mix of contrasting patterns and architectural features that have clean, traditional or funky styles – and, of course, with a smattering of flowers along the way.

Seven for September: Yard Art
Becky has invited us to have fun with sevens during the month of September. Having spent some time counting petals (flowers tend not to have seven petals) and counting flowers (not recommended as a pastime), I’m going with seven yard art ideas with varying degrees of difficulty, should you want to try them.

That to-press-or-not-to-press moment floated back to me when a notification came from WordPress featuring a tiny silver cup surrounded by even tinier sparkles as my blog has had over 500,000 views: news that prompted a woo hoo! even from this Lancastrian.
I’m celebrating with bluebells, one of my favourite spring flowers, sent out with a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit me here, especially regular readers. Blogging would be much less fun without you. Continue reading “A Celebration With Bluebells”
Giant Cockerel, Pocket Park, Fort Smith, Arkansas
The Park in Fort Smith’s West Side, Arkansas was closed when we passed by a few years ago. Like the cockerel, we could only gape at the retro-style attractions, such as the ferris wheel and hand-painted carousel. Continue reading “Giant Cockerel, Pocket Park, Fort Smith, Arkansas”
