Birds on Top

Join Becky’s April Squares: SquareTops. There are only two rules: the photo must be square and it must relate to the theme of the month.

The theme for April Squares is ‘top‘, and Becky has listed five idioms to choose from;

On Top of the World – summit, crown, peak (tiptop) or uppermost part of something.
Under the Big Top – topping or covering (or if you are really lucky a circus!)
Room at the Top – first or highest in position
Cherry on Top – something made even more wonderful by becoming square
Top and Tail – or maybe you’d prefer to play around with word combinations such as top dog, top stitch, top hat, top secret, top knot, top drawer or top dollar!

The main tag is #SquareTops but you may also want to add a second tag using the idiom your square is coming under.

Along for the Ride

The Great Wall with the Nixon’s, Nixon Library, Yorba Linda, CA

Cutout figures often make great props. This is one of my sisters joining President and Mrs. Nixon on their visit to the Great Wall of China. Mrs. Nixon is wearing her trademark red cloth coat. Shot at the Richard M. Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA.

Squirrely Paparazzi

A Star is Born

Squirrels are so mundane in the US, I am always surprised when I see tourists taking pictures of them. This, however, was the first squirrel I have seen draw a huge crowd. The squirrels have actually started to pose. For the record, I hate squirrels. They are rodents with bushy tales.
