O is for ____________

August 18th, 2011

OPTIMIST – Even though I can be a bit cynical about certain things, I’m an optimist about most other things.

ORGANIC – But not really in the traditional sense of the word. I’m kind of beyond organic because I believe organic has been watered down by corporate involvement.

OLD FASHIONED – I definitely am old fashioned in certain ways: cooking, canning, preservation, gardening, etc.

OBSERVANT – being an introvert I like to sit back and watch. As a result I’m very observant of other people and things. I’m an observant gardener, trying to take notice of the small changes that occur each year.

What words/phrases describe you that start with a O?

    Oh my goodness. That mossy rock photo is beautiful!

    I really, sincerely think you should compile a book of your photos. I know I would buy it.

    Of all of you suggestions here, observant applies to me as well. I do believe it is due to being an introvert. I’m most comfortable being in the background quietly observing.

    Great ‘O’ post! Good point here: “I believe organic has been watered down by corporate involvement. ” I totally agree with you.

    You could have been describing me today with your O’s.
    I’d add ‘Organised’ too – well you must be to manage the myriad of things you pack in to your day as well as finding time to take such gorgeous photos to tell us all about it!
    Optimist is my ‘O’ as well :o)
