I think this is my first photograph for #MarchSquare from the beautiful town of Tavira. I wonder if Jo recognises it? I don’t think it is far from her place.
I am going to miss #MarchSquares when it comes to an end, but at least I have #PastmeetsPresent to look forward to on the 1st, and it won’t be long (June) before the next square challenge!! For now though I thought you might find it fun to join me as I take another look at some of the fabulous entries over the past couple of weeks.
It had been really difficult to know where to begin as not only are there are now over 30 of us but the beauty and brilliance of many of the entries has been incredible.
- Begin I must though, so how about with the two that made me chuckle and the one which was a brilliant play on words
- It has made me so happy that you have all been seeing circles, squares and March hares everywhere
- There have been lots of fabulous signs and I found myself going completely square-eyed in Lisbon
- Many of you have frequently photographed everyday items which I wasn’t clever enough to photograph let alone think of!
- Some of you have even created them, others turned to the brilliance of flowers and cacti and one of you even captured the creativity of spiders
- And I have loved the way that so many of you have seen squares in shadows, in reflections and had moments of introspection
Having started it is now difficult to know where to stop, but perhaps I should stop here with just a tiny selection of what has been shared. If I list them all you may not have the time today to visit everyone, and that would be a shame. Don’t worry though I will be back tomorrow with a few more. See you then!
Thirty people, that’s brilliant Becky, I’m going to catch up with some I’ve missed this weekend 🙂

Fabulous, enjoy catching up 🙂 I’ve just discovered a new one this morning, so might sneak that in to today’s list as not many people will have had a chance to go through it yet. 🙂 Been amazing how many people have been joining in 🙂

I think I am going to have to put the Algarve high on my list of places to visit one day. 🙂 I’m going to miss this challenge too. Although I started by looking through my archives (which I enjoyed) I find myself looking for squares and circles when I am out and about – it’s very addictive!

Oh Becky, this photo is enough to make me pack my bags and move to Portugal asap. Those blue and white tiles are so pretty and look at all the curlicues. Divine!
Even though I haven’t participated every day, I have enjoyed this challenge so much. It’s great seeing everyone’s images. Some people are clever and have a wonderful knack for getting a shot that is just a little different. Very inspiring!

Ah, how nice to sit with a cup of coffee and catch up with all the squares I have missed. Some very interesting and clever ones. You will have everyone seeing squares and circles now for months! I have been using archives, but even sitting here at the computer I notice several items in my room that would fit the challenge (two lamps, binoculars, lenses, the actual keyboard, a note dispenser, a coaster and even my spotty PJs)! I shall stop now 🙂

And thinking about it, if you do 4 x monthly challenges = 122 days (should have stuck with the shortest months) whereas my weekly challenges = 52
So yours is a LOT of work. I might consider hosting a ‘once a month’ challenge 😀

Well you could cut it down to two a year, after all it is YOUR challenge. No rules. Whatever you enjoy. Challenges are no fun when they become too much hard work. Do you link to yours on the WP site btw?
