ABC Wednesday - O!

Got your dictionary out? You ready to play with the letters? It's that time again! ABC Wednesday is hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and the ABC team: Denise, Annelie, Leslie, Nathalie, Joyce, Donna, Helen, Roger, Troy, Jay, Barb, Gattina and me!

Oh! Did you know that today is the O Day? Let's all go sit under the Oak tree and be Obedient to our Obligation -- in some cases Obsession, with the letter of the day. Can't be Oblivious to the Occasion! No time to be Obsolete or Obstinate! This is like the O Olympics! We're here to Offer wisdom to Others! To be Objective in our Observations! And these are some of my more Obvious Offerings for the O Day! O is for Olympians from ancient Greece, for Oranges, Ocelots, Oak trees, Opossum, Otters and Oriole!
And all the photos except the Otters are courtesy of Google!

We have a enormous old oak tree right above our summer cottage, so I have a soft spot for oaks. On the other hand, I drink tons of orange juice...

I love the otters. I've seen spots on the ocean that I'm told are otters, but I've only ever seen them up close in the Seattle Zoo. Must go back to see them again soon.
Beautiful selection of photos, even if you didn't take them all.

Outstanding collage!

Joy said...

A collection of beautiful things, I can't decide which I like best, the collage takes the eye from one to the other and then round again.

Hildred said...

A really great collage, again! Thank you Sylvia, and for your clever comment containing so many wonderful O's.

Amy said...

Sylvia, A great collection of words and images - that orange is calling to me!

In Borneo, my teacher taught me Under the Spreading of the Old Oak tree, in New Zealand, they sing the chest nut tree, I wonder why in Bornoe, they taught us the old oak tree, they could haved taught us under the rubber or coconut tree.

Good selection of Os.
