Buttercup
Always the optimist, Becky is hoping that 2021 will be a more positive year as we march onwards and upwards. Yes, the theme for January Squares is the word ‘up’ and as usual she invites us all to join her in a month of ‘ups’ of any description. The only absolute rule is that your main photograph must be SQUARE, and remember a square has 4 equal sides.

No buttercups yet, but we can do daisies. Onwards and upwards!
ooh I have daisies already too – but my snowdrops bizarrely there is no sign
I have one snowdrop bud!
oh that makes me feel so much better that yours are hiding too
I don’t have many, I hoped they would spread, but I think I will have to buy some more. Two aconites! 😂
Keep looking … and daisies just never went away.
Daisies are hardy. They are all over my lawn and cracks in the paving!
Wonderful – so happy!
Do you remember the song by The Foundations:
… build me up, Buttercup!
Such a happy image 🙂
“But worst of all, you never call baby, when you say you will. But I love you still.” 🙂
… contented acceptance – what we all need right now! x
Earworm!
Lovely photo, Jude. Nice to see when we have wind and rain here, and it is still almost dark at 11:20!
Best wishes, Pete. x
Not much better here. Very misty.
ahhh a lovely and proper buttercup 😀
None open yet, but the celandines are coming back, despite me digging a ton out last year.
Beautifully captured, Jude! Thanks for the smiles.
You can never go wrong with yellow!
I like yellow in spring and autumn, but this year I am going to try some in the summer months.
That’s a glorious photo, Jude 🙂 🙂
Thank you Jo. Need to get the macro lens out again when we can actually go somewhere!
Lucky you’ve got your garden to play in 🙂 🙂
Not at the moment. Far too cold/wet/windy take your pick.
😕😕
Another lovely reminder of summer.
Yellow is such happy colour!
Isn’t it! I’m going for yellow for my patio pots this year, I don’t usually do yellow flowers in summer.
Very good
Aren’t they pretty little things. I said to Becky the first time I saw a buttercup I was surprised by how tiny it was.
