Get out your dictionary! It's time for ABC Wednesday which is hosted each week by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and the ABC team -- Denise, Roger, Jay, Troy, Barb, Gattina and me!!
O is for Oops! It's October!
And O is for Otters who swim in the Ocean -- when they're not in the zoo!
The Otters' tribute
Spring sunshine
glistening
like stars,
as it blends
with the
ebullient sprays
from blue waves,
shining
on the strips
of grass,
greening
in satisfaction.
The older one
hears,
from far away,
the strains
of something ,
with
Stars and Stripes....
A leap
on to the bank,
hands
across the heart
he stands
at attention;
The partner,
notices,
learns,
and emulates
the elder;
An otters
tribute,
to a
wonderful
homeland,
that makes living,
so much fun
for them.....

O is for Oh such lovely Oleanders!
And they are in a glass of milk -- at least that's what it said about the picture -- I found it on Google, my place to go if I don't have the picture that I want. Why it is in milk, I haven't the faintest idea!
Mmmmmm O is for Olives and Omelets!
Hungry yet???
Oh sO lOvely. I've seen sea Otters in the Isle Of Skye - wOnderful creatures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful phOtOs as always, Sylvia :-)
Liked the October Pictures. the First one was stunning. Yes, the Omelet made me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Otters only swim in Fresh Water. You learn something new everyday.
Love the otter photos and yes now you've gone and done it...made me even more hungry LOL :) Great photos my friend. Have a wonderful Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteo the omelette looks lovely but i've just had my tea - gonna finish up with a hot-cross-bun.
ReplyDeleteOne more O - ORANGE! Good collection, as always.

Great post on 'O'! I love olives... and otters, but the red tree left me with no words! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour otters are great and the oleanders beautiful! Are they in a vase of milk, Sylvia?
ReplyDeleteThose Otters look friendly! They alsO are fOund in rivers (but that dOesn't start with an O...lOl). LOve all your phOtOs tOday!
ReplyDeleteWil, they are in a glass of milk -- at least that's what it said about the picture -- I found it on Google, my place to go if I don't have the picture that I want. Any of the ones by me will have my name/blog on them. Every once in a while I have to go hunting, not a lot of Os in my photo stash! Thanks for your visit! Always appreciated!!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
Is the first photo of that beautiful red tree the same is in your current header? Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd why are the oleanders in a glass of milk?
OO, awesome! I'm torn between tripping (long distance) to the ocean and eating olives and omelets. I'm not, though, craving October. :)
ReplyDeleteA great assortment of O's. I do love otters! I went quickly past the olives. Don't like them at all.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't hungry until I came here and to Leslie's page! What a fun and delicious post! Although, I am perplexed as to why the Oleanders are in a glass of what looks to be milk (did I miss something?).
ReplyDeleteOutstanding O and October tree, its almost like a hat. I've heard of lemonade for roses but never milk for Oleanders, or does it just look pretty for a picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I haven't had an omelette in ages. I think I'll have to remedy that.
ReplyDeleteheavenly beautiful photos,
ReplyDeletewhat a pleasure to be here!

ReplyDeleteThat Omelet is perfect form my breakfast right now! it's only 8am here.
ReplyDeleteYes I am hungry...thanks a lot! the omelet looks devine.
ReplyDeleteLike your Oops too.
