Skinnywench has issued this week’s Word A Week Challenge, and it is: square.
No! Not that kind of square!
OK, fine. I guess that’s marginally more like it.
You know. Square, like the geometry people talk about. Square, like a city block. Square, like,..
This entire array of buildings and signs, somewhere outside Chicago.
Or like these very square princess kites floating in the skies over Jockey’s Ridge State Park.
Here’s a very square assortment of very square windows and doors located along a square in Rome. (I think it was the Piazza Navona but I can’t be 100% sure. Guess I have to go back…!)
Squares support the curves in this awesome wooden roller coaster (the Twister, FYI) at Knoebel’s.
And then there’s: random assortment of chairs set out after being freshly re-caned. I don’t know what I like best about this picture? The random assortment of mismatched furniture? The readily apparent craftsmanship? The contrast of the straight lines against the natural background? This was taken a scant few miles from my house, during the Rural Heritage Festival at the Dale/Engel/Walker House in beautiful Lewisburg, PA.
So there you have it. Behold the squareness! Enjoy the rest of the challenge participants.
“You’re so square, you have corners!” (Megan to Don Draper).
Lovely–great images & variety.

So many squares, so little time. And who can forget George McFly? Hello? McFly? Are you in there? Is anyone in there? Oh, that Biff is something else, eh?

I, too, went searching for a nerd pic when I saw this theme. Not as original as I thought I was, apparently. Love the kite pic (even though it’s pink). And, in response to your question above (in the comments), Megan is Don’s second (trophy) wife. Perhaps it’s time for a little Mad Men marathon (I did not do that on purpose).

Tried to watch that show once or twice; hated everyone and decided I didn’t want them in my living room for an hour every week. Just could’t get into it. Marathon away! I’ll be in the next room watching The Walking Dead. LOL

I’ve decided I should have watched Breaking Bad, so I think that will be my marathon.

Lovely challenge, squares are everywhere if you look! This square is part of the bridge that crosses from New Hope Pa into Lambertville NJ over the Delaware River ! Beautiful!
