I had another post planned for today but I suddenly realised yesterday that if I shared Sir Edward Landeer’s ‘The Monarch of the Glen’ then Wales wouldn’t appear in this month’s #SquareTops.
Actually that’s not the only reason I changed my mind about the painting. I was looking at it again and realised it might encourage some of you (I won’t name anyone!!) to continue with your rectangles. You see Edward missed being square by millimetres. 
Well actually in his case he missed it by two inches (five centimetres for those who prefer metric)!
Not the only thing to challenge Edward on. He also misnamed the stag as he’s only got twelve points on his antlers so that makes him a mere Royal. A stag needs sixteen to be a Monarch. Still it’s a fabulous painting and the stag doesn’t look like he cares. In fact the stag looks like he is feeling and standing on top of the world.

Lovely ridge view! I prefer that to the painting which is not my sort of thing.

It would be a pity to miss out on these Welsh dales and hills but your treaty on the painting was very informative. Apparently, Germans only count the endings and don’t give fancy names.

What an inviting view! As you see, I sometimes have my eyes much nearer the ground on my walks, and I might be taking leave of my senses too: https://margaret21.wordpress.com/2020/04/26/serendipitous-topiary/

What a beautiful day and look at that blue sky. Just magic having a spring day like the one you had to enjoy those views. I much prefer the open countryside view to the painting, good choice of photo 🙂
