Remember this from our wonderful Leeds trip last year? It was one of the many fabulous Tony Cragg sculptures we saw at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Thought it makes a rather unusual ‘Squared Squares’.

I think it is most unusual, but prefer the sinuous header to the square 😀 😀

So do I . . . . in hindsight I should have square that loop to make a circle with it! Still it is creating some hilarious feedback – which is lovely as I need some laughter today.

Started great and then heard some sad news. Was sort of expected but still knocked me for six this afternoon. Note six not four or two!

Sad new is always unwelcome, but often inevitable. Sending hugs (( ))
(and you do know that four and two make six?)

Thanks for the hugs and for the maths lesson. Made me laugh as that’s exactly the sort of thing Malcolm would have said!!

Almost…dad of a best friend. MrB and I are godparents to her son. They’ve had a tough 12months as her mother in law died last year. Just hit me quite hard this afternoon. Remembering the good times though this evening and there were many 😀

That’s really all you can do, is to hang on to the good times and honour their memory. Bad times sometimes seem to roll in, don’t they? I’m sorry.

Alea jacta est … so many circles (dots, whatever)! Normaly I like the black background of my theme but this square would probably look better on a lighter background. Here it is, for what it is worth: https://picturesimperfect2.wordpress.com/2018/03/19/my-twentieth-square/

Fabulous set of doors, but think you are right a lighter background may have set it off better. Could you perhaps add a frame?
LikeLike
I thought about it and didn’t because of the series but it would definitely be better (alternatively, I could crop less closely but I didn’t like that because the door is a bit skew and wherever I cut something off it made it worse
) But I’ll think about it.

WordPress really doesn’t like my comments. I tried sharing my photo twice with my Facebook account and both comments disappeared. 😦
I’m going to give it one more try in a different form.
The name of the blog is poetryofthenetherworld and it’s a Blogger Blog. (dot blogspot)
The image is of a fossilized baby dinosaur in a square of amber.
I like your image of the dice!
