O is for olive ointment on the ocean…
Okay (that’s an O word)…. maybe not, but it’s still fun alliteration. And it’s good to be open to the opportunities, no matter what the opportunities may be, even just making up random alliterations. Speaking of which, tomorrow is a “P” day and “P” stands for “poem,” so you might see some fun alliteration tomorrow.

A time to sleep
Today is day 31 of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge and of Inktober. Today’s prompt is landmark. The bears had walked up the mountain, not to the summit, but to a den on the side of the mountain. In that den, they would sleep. They always recognized that den because, inside, there was a wood carving,
Looking to the stars

Sunset over the Niagara River
On a clear day, you can see forever… Bird flying high, you know how I feel… Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the days… Here comes the sun (Here goes the sun??) “My time of day is the nighttime…” listening for the “black bird singing in the dead of night.”

W is for wing
At last, it really feels like spring. After snow and wind and freezing weather, spring has finally arrived. Today, I was out for a walk and I saw two geese and their family of nine goslings. The whole family was pecking at the ground. I would guess that they were looking for something to eat.
L is for things that live beautifully
Today, I am sharing images of things that live so beautifully that you can’t help but notice them. When I was much, much younger, I was afraid of bees, probably because I didn’t know what would cause them to sting. For the same reason, I was afraid of balloons because the popping hurt my ears,
