Outdoors #AtoZChallenge

 "O" is an easy letter for those blogging about New York State (like me) in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.  There are so many place names beginning with "O", thanks to the Native Americans in our area.  In fact, too many.  I found this to be such a challenging letter that I decided to provide a variety of "O"s and other Outside sites.

Oswego - a college town on the shores of Lake Ontario. One of SUNY Oswego's  most famous alumni is TV personality Al Roker. 

Oswego has a Peace Garden to celebrate the peace between us and Canada after the War of 1812.

A farmer's market in their historic downtown.

Otsiningo Park in Binghamton, New York - you have to love a park with a plaque like this.

Owego, New York - the Baker Fireman's Fountain, recently restored due to fundraising efforts by the Owego Hose Team.

One Tough Cookie, campus of the CIA (Culinary Institute of America, that is), Poughkeepsie, New York.

One last Outdoors photo. An Outstanding view of the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie, New York.  Maybe it belongs under "P", but if you don't say so, I won't, either.

"O" day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.  My theme:  New York State.

  3. What a pretty photo that last one is! We have a city named Lake Oswego in Oregon. It's quite well-to-do, in fact, the fifth word in its Wikipedia entry is "affluent!" There's an herb Oswego tea too, and oddly its native range is the east coast and Oregon and CA. You set me off on a "Ramblin'" path of Oswegos, teas, and bee balms!

  6. Alana,

    There's an Oswego in Kansas. I once wrote a penpal from there. That's how I know. :) Nicely done!
