Always makes me smile when I see them in a tree, and I am not the only one as Brian spotted a few in a tree a few days ago. He chose the third idiom for his post, but I can’t decide between ‘Room at the Top’, ‘Top and Tail’ or ‘Cherry on Top’. What do you think?
- On Top of the World – summit, crown, peak (tiptop) or uppermost part of something.
- Under the Big Top – topping or covering (or if you are really lucky a circus!)
- Room at the Top – first or highest in position
- Cherry on Top – something made even more wonderful by becoming square
- Top and Tail – or maybe you’d prefer to play around with word combinations such as top dog, top stitch, top hat, top secret, top knot, top drawer or top dollar!
And whilst you are pondering which is the best idiom, here’s a reminder of how squares works;
- Create your post with a square photograph, and include a pingback to one of my daily square posts (not the home page as otherwise I don’t know about your ping!)
- Be an amazing member of the square gang, whether you post squares or not, by visiting fellow squarers and setting aside time to enjoy one or more of the square galleries. Here’s the most recent gallery, it is top notch!
- You can also add the link to your post in the comments on any of my square posts

- I will visit every pingback within 24hours, so if you have had a like from me but no comment check your spam
- The WP gremlins have been very active this week which means I am not receiving notifications, so if I have not liked your post drop me a line via email, twitter or instagram.
- You can also use one of my squares logos to promote the challenge
- And remember the theme for April is #SquareTops and that whilst every square is a rectangle only four equal sides make a rectangle a square!

Top dog I’d say! You’d think those branches would break under the weight of all those big fellas!

Ha – exactly my feelings! I grew it long when I was young, but it was a difficult process. Which is why I’ve had the same haircut now for about 30 years. Maybe I’ll have to borrow John’s hair-clippers…

I think they’ve arranged themselves very nicely. Not sure I’ve seen egrets in a tree top before.

Well, clearly there isn’t ‘Room at the Top’. Personally, I think they’re on Top of the World. I’m not. I have a Top Problem: https://margaret21.wordpress.com/2020/04/18/top-secret-top-sleuth-needed-now/

Ah ha! I found you. Beautiful egrets? Oh yes I see Cattle Egrets. I had a Natural history teacher who made a pun about Having “no egrets” every time we saw one which was often Arouca here. Here’s my post https://lightwords.blog/2020/04/17/social-distancing-atop-a-driftwood-shack/

So far it is 50/50 on the idiom decision, but you are the first to digress into Signoret . . . not exactly a happy film or book that!
