One kind I could confidently identify the other kind I had no idea and had to look at the sign. How about you? Can you determine which kind of trees these sculptures represent?

I was going to leave with you just the tree puzzle today, but as we’re still being joined by new and returning squarers I thought I would squeeze in a third gallery. There will still be a final gallery in November to celebrate October Squares, but today let us enjoy what you have all been creating over the past few days.

Now remember one of the essentials of exploring the gallery is being kind to yourself by making yourself a large cup of tea or coffee. It is not that the explorations are hard work, the opposite in fact, however you might be here a long time!

It is hard to believe that this time next week Squares will be over. I really don’t know where the time goes during squares. In fact I don’t really know where the time has gone this year!

  • Life has been rather dramatic this year hasn’t it, and cross and wild at times too. No wonder I jumped at the suggestion life is like cacti!
  • And it has not just been prickly, life has also been kinda blurry and incongruous at times, but even when the path narrows there is beauty
  • Thanks to our ability for finding strength, for constructive critique and for creatively preparing for what lies ahead.

And you have all been so creative with Squares these past few weeks. You have brought so many smiles to my face, as well as giggles and awe. You are all incredible, and it is truly a joy to be part of this community.

As always a huge thank to everyone of you who are participating in squares, whether that’s by creating your own squares or commenting on others. You are all superstars. It is because of you that it is an absolute pleasure to host squares and create these galleries,

I cannot wait to see what you share in our final few days of squares. In the meanwhile if you are wondering about the sculptures, one is of sycamore seeds and the other the leaves of a ginko. They were created by David Watkinson and they swirl around.

  8. Well I have finally had time to go through the whole lot of squares. Some people are quite inventive aren’t they. The end of the month will be a good lot of images unless everyone has used all their good ones lol
    Thanks for a great wrap-up Becky xx

      1. Had every intention of being back but we were in the Sunshine Bar helping their economy with a Sangria and a glass of red when Mick said ‘ferry’s just gone’ 🙂 🙂

  13. Gingko leaf and maple seed. I did my first school presentation (I must have been ten or so) on the tree different maple trees most commonly occurring in Germany. It’s also the only one I remember doing. I can still name the three kinds and know the difference when I see one in the woods: Acer platanoides, Acer pseudoplatanus, Acer campestre. 🙂 And Gingkos used to be uncommon when I was little but we had (and still have) a huge Gingko in the local park. — And on a completely different note: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2020/10/25/nobody-thought-they-were/

      2. To be honest, my association is with Canada. But we call them Ahorn. 🙂 And checking, the sycamore is one of the three kinds I mentioned. There is something to be said about the accurateness of the Latin nomenclature.

    1. Spot on with first one, and second I think we are going to see two view points on this. Everyone based in England is probably going to say sycamore rather than maple, but they are in fact of the same family 🙂 Have fun in the gallery

      1. Sycamores are not common in Sweden, at least not as far north as I am. If I remember correctly there were some growing further south, mostly in parks, where I grew up. Probably to cold here for them to thrive.

  19. It’s a gingko isn’t it, joining the sycamore? Now, this pesky hour change means I have plenty of time to explore the gallery. Thanks for this supreme effort!

  20. Oooh, I remember these seeds, I used to play with them as a kid. Helicopter seeds! 🙂
    Maple trees have them, ash trees too. And some others. They want them to fly away from the mother trunk with its shade, hopefully find a sunny spot to germinate 🙂

    I love them! And what a gorgeous sculpture!

    Keeping with Mother Nature, we’re in sink today, Becky! Here’s my Kinda Square post about our Bougainvillea
