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, but don’t worry if you have not joined us as even weekly or just once this month is fine. The only must is to keep your photo square, but it does help if you also pingback with #SimplyRed and it is wonderful if you can explore the gallery.
What a wonderful close up!

Lovely close up view from the seaside. Back home from Greece, arrived home late last night or maybe early this morning (01.40) so I´m a bit tired today. Temperatures in Uppsala is going to be around 30 C as well for a few more days.

How big / tiny are they? They look like underwater plants. Intriguing.
I’m also still in a maritime mood – of sorts: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/07/20/give-a-man-a-fish/

I love seaside plants, not always easy to find though these days – and can’t believe yours hasn’t got at least charm going by the url but I’ll come and check shortly
