It’s a brand new month and I am beginning to feel hopeful we might be taking more steps forward than back and that there is a brighter future ahead. There are still though lots of challenges for many of us, and life isn’t always easy with or without pandemic lock-downs, and so over the next thirty days I propose we support each other by brightening our lives with squares. Today for day one I thought I’d go with dawn, it was taken a few minutes after my original April hint.
As usual for a Squares Challenge month I will be sharing squares daily, and I would love it if you did the same. However if daily sounds too daunting, don’t worry. It is fine to join us weekly or even just pop in occasionally with your squares. The frequency of your squares depends on you and also your blog. All I ask is that your image has 4 equal sides, and that it reflects the theme of bright.
sparkling, polished, shining, clever, cheerful, colourful, astute, brilliant, sunny, glorious, translucent, distinct and clear
I love receiving comments as well as a pingbacks on my square posts, and it would be fantastic if you were able to find a few minutes to visit at least one other squarer every day. Together, with the tag BrightSquare, we can support each other and shine bright.
I love your video. What a bright way to begin the show. 😎

I’m looking forward to a month of brights. The seabirds flying low over the sea are very soothing. Much needed, as to add to my WordPress woes, my own post isn’t appearing in the blogs I follow in my Reader and I am thinking it is a bit sparser than usual. Thank heavens for links!

It’s weird isn’t it? I wonder if the unfollow button somewhere appears where we don’t notice it so we click it by mistake… either that or WordPress doesn’t approve of some of our connections and secretly drops them 🙂

I love this first bright square. How do you make a video square? I’ve never done that before. 🙂

Clever piece of software does it – Clideo. You can use it for free or pay for an account. paid account just means no logo on the video, so I occasionally subscribe for one month and then do lots of videos before unsubscribing again!

Thanks! I will check it out. I have Adobe Premier but it is so complicated. I can’t focus my attention on learning it for any length of time. 🙂

oh i know they all seem so difficult. Clideo though was quite good as on the home page it has a list of buttons for all the different editing options such as add music, remove sound, reduce size, change shape, create video, merge videos etc

Great theme for how we’re all feeling right now, hoping that the glimpse of brightness ahead will grow over the coming months 😀 I don’t think I’ll join in as a daily challenge but I’m tempted to do some sort of compilation of bright squares at some point in the month as it’s such a great theme 🙂

Thank you, and yes do be tempted. Quite a few pop in just now and again, or share a compilation every every week. We’d be delighted to see you whenever you can pop in with a bright square or two 🙂
