Sadly Septimus will no longer be part of Squares, however he certainly wouldn’t have approved of being include in the theme odd! So instead how about more of those birds that I think we have all agreed are rather odd – flamingos!

The greater flamingo is the most widespread and largest species of all the flamingos. It is found in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and in southern Europe. Beauty like oddness is in the eyes of the beholder with these birds!

If you haven’t already joined us February is a month of Squares, and theme is odd. So basically nearly anything goes as odd includes odd numbers, odd balls, the exceptions, follies, and even odds and ends. Just remember to keep your photographs square and it would be great if you could use the tag SquareOdds. If you want to know more here’s my challenge poster.
They are beautiful odd birds.

That opening image really captures their oddity, Becky. They seem to be able to twist into any shape.

Thanks Debbie 😀 really enjoying photographing them at the moment as they are allowing us to get quite close. It is quite extraordinary how they twist. I have got a shot since which shows them from the other angle, and I think I might have finally worked out how they have twisted.

I shall miss Septimus not being around for odd squares too. Flamingo bills are the odd part I reckon. Great photo Becky 🙂 🙂
