A close up of a purple urchin on a sandy beach - Ouriço-do-mar roxo
An unusual beach find – one violet sea urchin

Everyone does seem to be having fun exploring oddness and discovering oddities this month. Some of your posts have had me in hysterics, others I remain puzzled over and all have shone with unusualness and/or beauty. Goodness knows how I am going to select which squares for the first gallery.

If you are not one of the 57 squarers who have joined us already this month, then don’t panic there is still time! The tag is SquareOdds and we are looking for square photographs whose subject matter is;

  • Differing from the usual or not happening often (ie oddballs, the exceptions and follies)
  • Separated from its set or mate (eg odds and ends or maybe odd socks or shoes)
  • Not divisible exactly by two (ie odd numbers) or the number is unknown (ie 90 odd birds rather than 99)

Still unsure about whether this challenge is for you, well here’s the challenge poster.

  20. Anemones are beautiful, but boy, can they make your feet hurt if you step on one! In the water they look like flowers waving their legs in the water. National Geographic shows walking. They look like animated sock puppets. The thing is, they do that walk at such a slow pace, you can only see it if they use special cameras. If you haven’t seen “Welcome to Earth,” the photography is — I don’t even have words for it. AND you can see anemones galumphing along the ocean floor which is incredibly cool.

      1. And those National Geographic photographers are fantastic. They also do the great migration of the Wildebeests which might be one of the most amazing sights I’ve ever seen. Truly breathtaking.
