Red chard is a member of the beetroot family, which is why you may also know it as leaf beet or beet spinach.
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 haven’t posted yet this month. Even on square is sufficient to be part of the Squares Gang. Just don’t forget to keep your photo square, and to pingback with #SimplyRed!

Becky, I worked in a produce market for years and love the many types of chard. Delicious!

Since you did food, I did food too — especially because I have a fridge full of red food from onions to cans of coke. I pulled red items out and tried to arrange them artistically. Still life isn’t one of my better skills. I’m working at it!
