I had another post planned for today but I suddenly realised yesterday that if I shared Sir Edward Landeer’s ‘The Monarch of the Glen’ then Wales wouldn’t appear in this month’s #SquareTops.
Actually that’s not the only reason I changed my mind about the painting. I was looking at it again and realised it might encourage some of you (I won’t name anyone!!) to continue with your rectangles. You see Edward missed being square by millimetres. 
Well actually in his case he missed it by two inches (five centimetres for those who prefer metric)!
Not the only thing to challenge Edward on. He also misnamed the stag as he’s only got twelve points on his antlers so that makes him a mere Royal. A stag needs sixteen to be a Monarch. Still it’s a fabulous painting and the stag doesn’t look like he cares. In fact the stag looks like he is feeling and standing on top of the world.

Some lovely countryside to walk through in Wales. Perhaps Sir Edward deliberately made his painting a little off square just to test people! Here’s my guaranteed-by-photoshop square for today: https://grahamsisland.com/2020/04/26/multiband-butterflyfish-atop-coral/

Well you are mixing it up today, what with Welsh hills and Scottish glens. Have to say I much prefer the view and the header image is fabulous. landscapes don’t really do it for me in squares. I like to see the whole picture. (And I’m not talking about the stag).
Tempting you today with my offering: https://wp.me/pL5Ms-5e0

Don’t worry about the flour. I have enough for what I need and the supermarket has plenty of bread. I don’t bake these days, just make pizza bases occasionally.

It would be a pity to miss out on these Welsh dales and hills but your treaty on the painting was very informative. Apparently, Germans only count the endings and don’t give fancy names.
