For us in New York State, the letter "O" isn't a challenge at all. The Native Americans had so many words beginning with O: Owego, Oswego, Otsego, Onondaga, Otsiningo, and many more. Here is a sky sample.
I've taken some nice sunset and other pictures in these "O" places. Right now, travel is a memory, but the photos on my phone remain.
Oswego, New York, is noted for its snowfall, but I visited it in fall, when sunsets Overwhelmed.
Onondaga County.
Ontario County includes portions of New York's wine country. I chose this picture overlooking vineyards.
Owego? Once voted the "Coolest Small Town in America" this old home in snow is a photographic delight.
I hope my pictures bring some joy to your life.
"O" day on the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme "America the Beautiful" although, as this progresses, I find myself staying close to home - as we all must, until things get better. For now, memories carry us forward. One day, life will reopen.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Wow, gorgeous sky shots. The first two sunset shots are stunning. Have a safe, healthy weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I like the sunset pictures the best.
ReplyDeleteHey Alana,
ReplyDeleteHow are ya doin'? How's your BIL? I just read all of your posts from this week and as much as I'd like to leave a comment on each, I'm afraid time is short. Things are out of kilter for me and I'm beginning to the need for my HRT pellets which I was supposed to have done at the end of March but that's not going to happen until early next month. I'm love overdue! Your skywatch Friday photos are beautiful. I love the sunset pictures over the water best but that old home is to die for! WOW, that's gotta look especially nice when the snow is deep and still comin' down. Have you ever photographed it like that? Continue to be well, my dear. Have a good weekend!

Isn't it funny how some letters just show up a lot in your neck of the woods. I'll have to think on what letters they are around me.
ReplyDeleteThere only two place I can think of in Idaho start with letter O..Orfino, and Ontario
ReplyDeleteMy husband grew up in Rome and swore he would never live in another place that had snow. Now we are in Coastal BC but snow is quite rare and hardly even gets deep enough to need shoveling. - Margy
ReplyDeleteGreat post! And yes, different Native American tribes did have a lot of different words that were converted to the alphabets of the colonists. These are some amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great A to Z. Stay safe and healthy!
