A year ago today we were on a rather splendid walk in the Algarvian hills. It didn’t feel or look like a December day, it felt more like early Spring as the bees were buzzing, the birds singing and the goats were ringing their bells.

One of the delights I am finding with #SquareSky is that all seasons are being shared, partly because some like me are going back in the archives but also because our #SquareSky movement has bloggers in both hemispheres. There have been some amazing posts over the past few days. Here’s just a tiny selection from our #SquareSky movement album:
- Big skies over the Forth, and breezy skies in Finland
- Bird filled skies and moments when you expected a bird to arrive
- And moments when the bird was nearly missed
- There have been lots of clouds, even rolling ones
- I thought the Snow Queen would arrive, surrounded by the snow
- We’ve looked through snow filled windows
- I must admit though happier by the sea,
- I found lots of coconut leaves and thanks to Jude I did see the pole!
- There have been beautiful Jacarancias
- I’ve enjoyed gorgeous clouds, and stunning Irish Skies
- Got up before dawn, more than once
- Seen beautiful mountains, and smoke filled skies
- I’ve even arrived before the lighting of the Christmas Tree
- We’ve discovered the sun peeping through skyscrapers and a silent city
- No wonder we are seeing squares everywhere!
Thank you so much to everyone for joining in, and also for your patience over the past few days, I’ve much appreciated it. Took me a few hours yesterday to catch up, but I think I have visited all of the weekend #SquareSky posts. Do let me know if I haven’t.
Hi Becky,
Here is a photo I took last spring.

What a gorgeous shot – no lovely sky outside for me, so I’m loving your spring-like image Becky.
And I’m working my way through your clever way of sharing lots of skies.
Today, I’ve gone more traditional: https://travelwithintent.com/2017/12/20/view-edinburgh-holyrood-calton-hill/

oh I am so impressed you, like Jo, are finding the time to work through the links. Thank you, and thank you also for your lovely viewpoint. I’d happily sit on that hill, except it is probably under cloud like the rest of the UK today!
Thank goodness for Chiff Chaffs in Olive trees!

Love this one. It might be my favourite so far (I do like a pretty bird photo). Back to a sunset from me today, not much sky to see today as we have been in a cloud since midnight! I shall go and see if I have missed any squares now 🙂

Wonderful! 🙂 🙂 I’ve played guessing games as to which link will take me where. Now I have to go back and check on a few. It may take a while. Thanks for filling my early morning so successfully, Becky. 🙂 Superb shot of the Chiff Chaff.
