Alphabet Project | O is for orchids

Thank you to everyone that joined the Alphabet Photography Project over the past week with letter N.

Having toyed with a few other options for letter O, in the end orchids was the winner. I love orchids, such wonderful flowers and so varied too. The Lady’s Slipper orchid featured above is one of my faves, what an incredible flower!

How to join in

The Alphabet Photography Project runs every Wednesday. A Linky is live from that day until the following Tuesday so you can upload a short post or an Instagram photo. If you include a link back to PODcast I’m happy to share it for you.

You can post a photo on Instagram (PODcast is here) using the hashtag #alphabetphoto. There are also PinterestFacebook and Google+ groups.

Ideas for letter O 

The #alphabetphoto theme can be interpreted in any way you choose. Your letter might be a photograph for example, an object that resembles a letter or an adjective. Have a look at the letter O hints in last week’s post. If you get really stuck, an online Scrabble dictionary is a good point of reference!

Inspiration for letter P 

Here are a few ideas to get us thinking about letter P:

Peaches, pears, purses, paintings, pens, pencils, pearls, patterns, pineapples, pins, pebbles, peppers, peeling paint, plant pots, peacocks, pride, people, perspective, pink, purple, polished, plain, poppy, poised, precious, pure, poor, powerful, prickly, pug, pig, puma, puff, push, puss, pure, pond, plum, play, pool, posh, pips, pine, pick, pies, pets, puppy, potato, prunes, power, puddle, pretty.

There are also lots of inspirational photographs on the #alphabetphoto Pinterest board:
