Squares is returning in less than 12 hours; to be specific at 6:21am BST on Tuesday 1st July. I can’t wait to see if we turn the blogging world completely red!

Thinking of Cee and her flowers

I am sure everyone knows but just in case a squarer has missed the news. The theme for July squares is ‘‘Simply Red‘ and the one rule remains – your main photograph must be square. 

If colour is not your thing, then don’t worry why not square with some red idioms such as;

  • A red rag to a bull – means provocation but for squares perhaps you could photograph a warning sign, or a moment of danger
  • As red as a beetroot – means embarrassed but for the content of your squares I am also thinking hot or excited
  • Paint the town red– means having a very good time but for squares I am thinking flamboyance!
  • Red herring – something that is deliberately misleading, so for squares I was thinking perhaps an illusion
  • Red letter day– is a memorable day or experience, so I know everyone will have at least one photograph that captures this. Today’s announcement square was definitely a red letter experience.
  • Roll out the red carpet – or why not give your blog the red carpet treatment in July by sharing your favourite images and perhaps a little bit of glamour

For those new to Squares it is a daily challenge, so your photographs can be from the archives or brand new. If daily is too difficult or doesn’t fit in with your blog, then feel free to post every other day, weekly or even just once in July.

For regulars that like to prepare the url is going to be simply-red, and I will be posting at 6:21am BST every day. For everyone else don’t forget to keep your photo square and to pingback with #SimplyRed!

  13. I’ve literally just prepared my Floral Friday / Flower of the Day post for coming Friday. Even when Cee was still around, I only posted flowers on Friday and double dipped with Bren’s challenge (also sadly gone). Thanks for the reminder of many memories.
