O/Alphabe-Thursday


Smokey's eyes are OPEN

O is for OPEN

Smokey is our neighbour's sweet cat. When we first met her she was very shy but NOW she comes right up for a scratch behind her ears and a pat on her head. She's welcome here because she just watches the birds at out feeders, doesn't want to hassle them.

OPEN windows

Cormorant flapping its wings for takeoff, here its wings are OPEN wide

    Each of these three pictures is special and beautiful. The determination of the cormorant in action, the color and style of the classic building, and the kitty portrait.

    All these photos are incredible. They are so different, which is part of the charm.

    However, being a sentimental sap for a great cat picture, I have to say that the first photo is my favorite. Such a sweet kitty cat face.

    Hi Ms. Tour Guide ~~ I came for "O" Day. I am liking your "O" pictures in the order that you posted them. The cat is such a neat cat, I love grey ones.
    (I have eight pictures today, so okay ones. )

    Glad she respects the birds…How could she do otherwise and be welcome at your house?

    How I wished all my cats just watched! Two of them really don't do much, but the princess PUss Puss is a hunter. Still, she has not caught but one or two birds that I know of, and rescued one of them.
