Telegraph Daylight Square
Sala do Telegrapho, Palácio da Bolsa

Did you get the telegram? Today is the day for our first Squares gallery. So pull down the blind and get ready for a show! You may also want to make yourself a cuppa, or pour a glass of wine, before you begin to explore, there are 60 entries.

My hope is that everyone will visit at least five fellow squarers in the gallery as there have been some very creative hyphens, compound nouns and words ending in light.

Thought this might be a good moment to take a pause so that you can top up your cup or glass of whatever you are enjoying as you browse through the collection. Full LengthThis pause also gives me a chance to sneak in a the full length blind!

I wonder what caught your eye in our first week, do leave a comment below mentioning some of your favourite delights or see if you can spot whether I have included them in today’s gallery.

A huge thank you to you all for being such creative participants, I am really looking forward to our next week of joy and fabulous photography.

Squares LogoNow, before I dash off to get ready for lunch with Sue and Debbie, a quick reminder. The tag is #JanuaryLight, and the theme is words ending in light. I recommend using pingbacks, links in comments and the tag at the moment as the WordPress gremlins are out and about again. The only rule though is your photo must be square.

  2. Love the daylight, I might have one of those coming up, but this is a wonderful shot. Hard to get a vertical image in a square orientation. It’s a dreich day here today so I’m going nowhere. Time to scroll through those galleries. Oh and enjoy lunch with Debs and Sue, where are you meeting up? Sometimes I wish I didn’t live so far away.

    1. Thank you so much Jude. I literally only had seconds to take this as the tour guide whizzed us past, and so really wasn’t sure about it.

      We met up in Guildford, has a fabulous time hence me only catching up with your comment today! We are thinking of St Albans next, maybe you could come overnight?

  12. Isn’t it a wonderful community we’ve created here? Give my love to Sue and Debs, and have a great day! 🙂 🙂 Thanks for all the effort you put into this. There won’t be many spare moments in January, will there? Sending hugs!

        2. No- just a disappointment really. We didn’t go because Mick’s done a lot of driving and walking lately and didn’t feel like it. A couple I’m walking with today were there and sending back tantalising photos. They don’t know the meet point for today’s walk and I’ve refused to tell them unless they bring me some of the cake 🙂

        3. oh that’s a shame . . . we need to find you a fab scooter so you can nip off to these things yourself! Still sounds like you have an extremely cunning plan to sample the cake 🙂 Have fun walking later xx

    1. Sounds a sensible plan to visit properly later, there are quite a few in the gallery! And thank you so much for your lovely comments on my photo.

      1. Well guess what – because you suggested we visit five – I decided to get started and already saw the fun bubbles one.
        Your suggestion of “five” reminded me that if we break down a task into steps or parts – we get momentum and get going – very cool.

        1. Hee hee my cunning plan is working 😃 I was hoping if I suggested a number that it might encourage people to start looking. The joy in the bubbles is wonderful isn’t it! Have fun with the rest of your five, and maybe ten?!
