Every Squares I find I sit down more than I should, but this challenge I seem to be sitting even more. I think it is because of the lock-down and cold weather. I really though need to be standing up more this month, not that is much of January left. It is our final Monday of January squares. Where on earth has the month gone? It began so slowly, but suddenly over the past few days it seems to have sped up. I am hoping that is a good thing. I also hope you have been enjoying this month’s challenge as much as I have. There have been so many different interpretations of the theme, it has been amazing.

In case anyone wasn’t aware the theme for January Squares is up, and there is still time to join us in looking up and finding hidden ups.
I have been posting daily this month, and it would be so uplifting if you can too for the final few days of the month. However don’t worry if daily posts are not for you, with this challenge you can post anytime before or on 31st January. The only absolute rule is that your main photograph must be SQUARE, and remember a square has 4 equal sides.
Huge thank you to everyone who has already left a comment and/or pingbacks on my square posts, and thank you also for finding the time to visit at least one other squarer. Together, with the tag SquareUp, we can stand up and be united in 2021.
Upstanding, and proud of it!
And yes, I can’t believe January is almost over. I do think your square months go faster than usual – giving us all an extra bit of cheerful focus.
I couldn’t resist joining you with a cockerel today: https://travelwithintent.com/2021/01/25/roosting-up-high/

I agree Square Months always have that added bit of zest about them! Loving your cockerel, so much finer than mine was the other day 🙂

Oh, you know the way to my heart Becky. When I go to heaven (as if!) there will be a stork nesting on my roof. Here is animal life of a different kind: https://margaret21.com/2021/01/25/looking-up-the-street/

You’ll have to put up a wheel to encourage them!

What WOULD our landlord think? Plus … first find your cartwheel.

it would add so much to the property value, rather like having a Waitrose within walking distance!
However you are right the cartwheel finding might be a challenge

If you’re going down under, Margaret, I’m joining you cos heaven must be full of the wrong sort 🙂 🙂 And there are plenty of abandoned tyres over here. Just saying….

I wouldn’t provide a tyre. It would have to be a cartwheel from a nice country model that’s done centuries of long service.

I love his knobbly knees. 🙂 Yes, this month seems to have flown by. At first I was thinking I wouldn’t have enough photos to do a post every day and now I need to decide what to leave out. Luckily I’m going to continue with Carnarvon Gorge after the challenge is finished because I have several walks to share.

PS yes very knobbly!
