Yesterday I admitted that at the beginning of this month I had no idea what my final square would be. Even now as I write this half way through the month I am not entirely sure! So I thought I would begin my finish with a retrospective perspective. How many of these squares do you remember? And do you have a favourite?
A huge huge thank you to everyone who has visited, commented and participated in this month’s Squares. It has not been an easy month I know, we are still living in very challenging times. However whilst a tiny part of me wishes life would return to pre Covid-19, I am recognising that actually we cannot do that anymore.
There are still far too many inequalities in this world. I am hoping these strange times though might be the opportunity for the world to become greener and fairer. It isn’t going to be easy though to change in light of the looming economic downturn. However hopefully we can find a way to hear and see different perspectives. I know we can’t make everything better immediately, but maybe we can make a difference even with small changes. And we can certainly broaden our perspectives!
And all of you have certainly being doing that this month with your squares. A huge thank you again to everyone who has taken part this month. I do hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. It has been a fabulous month of Squares and different perspectives.
The final gallery of your perspectives will appear in the next few days, and the theme for October squares is scheduled to be announced in September. So enjoy August making some small changes; whatever you can do will make a difference.
And if you have a spare moment today why not see if you can spot which of the squares in this post didn’t actually appear in this month’s challenge. I swapped it for a Hampshire view in Wednesday’s post, but decided I would leave it in today’s!
I hope you are relaxing now! Such a lot of work.

Lovely 😊 retrospect quilts I still like the bird’s dining! I learned so much. Especially the importance of where the photographer stands! Literally and politically!
We need to have our own point of view. We need to square things with what we believe. Fancy s peach coming from someone who posts naked ladies. https://lightwords.blog/2020/07/31/naked-ladies-wave-bye-bye-to-square-perspectives/
See you soon 😘😻

Looks like Thomas the Tank Engine snuck into your retrospective, but you also left another of your squares out altogether. Any reason for that? I remember thinking a lot about that one. I think my favorites are the murals, the floor, the poppies, the lighthouse, and the beach, but they’re all good. Thanks for all the work you put into it. I had a lot of fun with it this month. Here’s my final one for July: https://grahamsisland.com/2020/07/31/swimming-with-dolphins/

I thought I’d only left out Wednesdays so I could keep in the one I had originally planned, which may just be the one you spotted! Which other do you think I missed out?

The one where we had to choose the crop we liked of the street scene with lamps and cobbles. I forget when it ran.

I imagine so. I’d only planned on being an occasional contributor in July but then had something for every day but one, and that was Brian’s fault because his Last on the Card challenge doesn’t allow cropping!

Been fantastic you’ve been here daily, and ooh yes Brian’s last one the card. Time again for that!

This was such a fun month of squares. I enjoyed all of yours, but my favorite – if I had to choose – would be the one with the bizarre hand door knockers (?). Oh and the confusing looking floor 🙂 I am already looking forward to October and I hope by then life will be a bit less surreal.
