The kittens are asleep and so I thought I’d find a few moments to squeeze in another gallery, a bonus square to accompany today’s decorative shading. Can’t quite believe that a) I have kittens and b) the end of November Squares is almost upon us. Time really disappears sometimes, almost as quick as a setting sun!
The gallery however, is not for those on a tight schedule today. You’ll need a cuppa or two. We start with those who have joined since the first gallery.
- Some shadows are as cute as owls and my new feline housemates, so perhaps we should raise a toast to them before we head off on beautiful travels
- Or perhaps you prefer to dance with us and eat amazing icecream in order to celebrate shadow stories and wonderful horseback rides this month
- Whatever you do I am sure you’ll find in miniature or perhaps in a beautiful garden somewhere the perfect blend before the sun sets
Wasn’t that a fabulous first room in our second November Shadows gallery. I do so love collating these, especially when I have the time to take my time exploring your squares again.
- There’s rather a fabulous entrance to this room but watch out for the little people as you explore happy places
- I have found much joy in the shadows this month, as well delight in the evening reflections and our shadowy past
- Sometimes all we need do is look around us for our good luck and we’ll be smiling as we leave this room
So have you come across any shadows you’ve not yet seen this month? Or have you simply been enjoying revisiting your fellow squarers? Let me know in the comments below.
- But before you do that, let’s step out with determination into our third room and jump with joy into the puddles and if we’re really brave whizz around a few curves
- Or you might prefer to look back to a lovely place, to relax in a backyard or simply sit back and enjoy your morning cup of coffee
- A squares gallery is a place to rejoice in the everyday and even the design of the mundane as we will always climb upwards here
Wasn’t that a fabulous room. I am in awe of how extraordinary your shadowing and shadowing boxing has been this month. Can’t wait to see what happens in the final few days but first another amazing room for you to look round.
- You may have to peer in the beautiful darkness but look at the lovely visitors already here showing off their wonderful collections
- Casting shadows has proved to be such fun, so wonder you are all rippling and following the herd
- You’ve confirm that even in a shadowy month we can be large and beautiful as we bring light into our lovely blogging world
If you haven’t already now might be the time to pour yourself another cup or glass of something. There are only two rooms left to enjoy, but I want you to have energy to properly explore. So take a break and make that cuppa!
- There are so many sparkles in this room, no wonder we are pouring a glass or two, or perhaps I should say casks to celebrate
- Shadows are glorious whether in the sky high above us, on the walls that surround us or in our city parks
- And squarers never forget to also marvel at everyday life, our gardens out back or with family on the common
You’ve made it to our final room. What a superstar you are if you have visited at least two squarers in every room. I really hope you enjoy this final room.
- It’s only as small room so hopefully you won’t need to queue nor do much fossicking about
- It should be a clear path ahead with feline friends to welcome you on arrival in the beautiful evening light
- And you won’t want to stop your explorations in this beautiful place even when the ordinary and autumn cold arrives
I hope you have had as much fun exploring the gallery as I have collating it. You are all fabulous. It means so much to square with you everyday, so thank you everyone.

Never mind the shadows! I want to see pictures of the kitties!! Will sit with the summary this weekend and weave my way thru it. Thanks, as always, for hosting.

Wasn’t that a lot of fun. Everyone is so clever with their ideas and photos. I did manage to find time tonight to go through them all.
My guests arrive on the 27th December 🙄 I don’t usually have booking in advance. Most are for the next night or the one after. At least I have done a thorough house clean 😂

As always, well done on your part and thanks for being the hostess with the mostess as far as squares go. I’m glad you enjoy it, because I do too and I think I speak for everyone who participates. I can’t believe it’s almost the end of November already. Here in the US, we have Thanksgiving tomorrow and then into the Christmas season, which I love, but is always busy. One thing I just realized that in Arizona, we almost always have shadows because the sun is almost always shining. 🙂 (Even if all my photos aren’t from Arizona.) Happy Wednesday!

I don’t know how you do it, Becky, thinking up the ideas, posting daily, looking at everybody else’s posts and picking an interesting one from each squarer and making up the gallery! It’s just awesome. And thanks for the mention of my wine sodden (sort of) post.
