Not that you can tell from my square but there’s a lion holding a globe on the flag. It is facing west as if heading across the Atlantic on a westbound crossing.

The theme for July squares is ‘‘Simply Red‘ and the one rule is that your main photograph must be square. If colour is not your thing, then don’t worry why not play around 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

Squares is a daily challenge, so your photographs can be from the archives or brand new. If daily is too difficult, then feel free to post every other day, weekly or even just once this month. Don’t forget though to keep your photo square, and to pingback with #SimplyRed!

By the way I’m entertaining friends at moment, hence no comments from me yesterday and possibly also today. In fact it might be Wednesday before I properly catch up with everyone. I will though as I’m loving all your red 🟥.

      1. Are you then assuming the flagpole is always ‘West’ on the basis that we read from left to right and looking at the compass rose, west is on the left?

        Is this a recognised convention for flags and flag poles?
