close-up
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.

I’m not sure what this is – nice photo though – my first thought was ‘bananas’….
It’s amazing isn’t it how a close up can distort our perspective. I was about to make a crazy guess too, and then spotted the tag
I looked for the tag, but couldn’t find it. I’ll look again …
or look at Jo’s comment – she guessed correctly!
It’s an odd looking succulent.
I bet you’re building UP to a big crescendo on Sunday! 🙂 🙂 This is lovely! Some kind of succulent?
Yup! I think I have saved my best for last. 😊 You must be gutted about the proposed quarantine restrictions.
I’m trying not to think about it, Jude. Best hope is it doesn’t stay in place long. Getting tight and restrictive here too and I hate it! Will end up a police state and I’ll be a insurrectionnist! 🤣🤣 Maintain a sense of humour at all times…. trying! 💞💞
Ah, Jo. We really should have closed borders last year and then we might not have been in this mess. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but 100,000 deaths is far too many.
How many of those deaths would have arisen anyway we really don’t know, Jude. But yes – you should have and us too. 🙄💕
ooh was trying to work out what these were – succulent was not one of my guesses!
Macro lens, so an unusual perspective.
Really is – wonderful
Lovely close-up, Jude. I am presuming it’s something from the Cactus family.
Best wishes, Pete. x
A succulent, but I don’t remember which one.
I guessed succulents, yay! Nice to see the gradations in colour up close like that.
Succulents are very interesting, especially up close.
Such a brilliant colour combination, Jude.
Close-ups with clarity are brilliant – so thank you!
Thank you, Frank.
This reminds me of Chihuly’s art glass.
Great minds! 🙂 I love the pink tips on the leaves.
It’s a pretty colour combination. 🙂
