This is the last day of the photo challenge #SquareUps photos share with it featuring the word “Up” ~ I went through my photos and had a few in mind and so here is what I decided to share. We were able to travel to Hawaii last year in February. We made it there and back again before the shutdown and some day I would love to go back. Here are a couple more photos I wanted to share. 😀
The rules of the challenge for my friends who will read this post wondering what am I doing? I have to format my photos to be square. Thankful this is easy to do before I post them. I edit them into a square shape for this photo challenge hosted by Becky B ~ The Life of B blog. She has these wonderful photo challenges throughout the year every quarter. This challenge for Square “Up” was for the month of January. You could post a photo every day, or every week, or whenever you can. I decided to join right on the last day. The next Square photo challenge will be in April. Here is the last photo I will share for Upright and Upbeat!
I hope I met the challenge correctly. I made all my photos “square” and I love the theme “Up”. I had fun looking through my photos when these popped up and I thought what a fun way to finish out this month!
I know I could have shared 31 photos for all the days of January, but I am afraid that would take me too long. So I guess I am joining with 3 photos for the last 3 days. Lol 😀

Thank you for hosting Becky and including us all on this fun #SquareUps photo challenge. I hope ya’ll enjoy!

You have done more than meet the challenge rules correctly, you have created a superb first entry for the Squares challenge. It is superlative!
Thank you so much for joining us on this final day, delighted to meet you and can’t wait to see you again in April. I will be announcing the theme in early march, but there will probably be a few hints in February 😀

Hawaii looks beautiful! I managed one short trip before Covid kicked in too, but it was to central Portugal- much nearer to me! 🙂 🙂 Nice to meet you. See you next time…

Very nice to meet you to Jo! It truly was a beautiful trip and I will say Kauai was magical. The most amazing Island with all its lush vegetation with beautiful beaches. It really was paradise! Honolulu was pretty too, but not as lush and has more people. I’m glad you were able to travel before Covid too!! Lucky Us! 😀 This was a fun challenge and I am so happy I joined. ❤
