ABC Wednesday is a word meme with participants from around the world. Our Host, Mrs. Nesbitt hails from Great Britain. We started with the letter, "A" and each week we post something in regards to the next letter of the alphabet. We are now in our second year, round 4! This week's letter is, "O".

I like your owl. He looks so severe!
Many O's but the first one took me by complete surprise. Unusual choice.
Great choices for the letter O. I sure didn't know what the first picture was. Learn something new evertime on these blogs.
Great post and You get originality points for octopus lure.
Great collection of Os! Super shots! That first one was a surprise, never heard of that!
Lovely selection of O's. I've never heard of an octopus lure. Now my mind is working overtime. :) Good post!
Lots of Os...nice octopus lure...and I like the owl...
Great "O" words. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice post of "o". Thanks for sharing.
I simply MUST have an
Octopus Lure!!!
That octopus lure looks vicious! I've never seen one before! It almost looks like an octopus head itself.
The orchids are pretty!
A nice 'o' collection! That owl is cute. Or I should say Pueo! What a funny sounding name for an owl!
