Hope each one of you is enjoying a good weekend. I was in Washington D.C. this past week, so the photos are mine. I will share more of them on occasion. Next week you will again see some photos by Totomai, which I know everyone will look forward to.
Tomorrow Sherry Blue Sky has an interview with a Canadian poet many of you will be familiar with. Please return on Monday to find out who.
And on Wednesday for Midweek Motif Sumana will be prompting us to write a poem about 'time,' something that we cannot escape, something that seems to move altogether too fast.
And next Friday, of course, stop back for Rosemary's feature. Will it be "The Living Dead" or "I Wish I'd Written This"? Stop back and see.
With no further delay, hope that you will enjoy the Pantry today. Leave a short comment when you post; and be sure to visit the links of others. I will look forward to reading what you share.
Hello friends, a very happy Sunday to you all...nice photos Mary :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and what a wonderful set of sights.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, crisp photos on this Sunday morning - thank you Mary
ReplyDeleteHello everyone :D
ReplyDeleteHope you're all enjoying the weekend! Sharing my poem "Rain" hope you all like it :D
Thank you Mary for sharing these wonderful pictures of Washington D.C.
Looks amazing! :D
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Good morning all...our weather has been wonderful and actually spring-like so lots to do in the garden, but I will be around later to read all the lovely poems linked here....Mary I love visiting DC and would love to again as it has been many years and one can never see it all. My husband has never been to DC so it would make a great long weekend trip one of these days....great shots. Did you have a favorite spot?
ReplyDeleteOh, that is hard to say, Donna. I really enjoyed visiting each of the Memorials. I was moved by all of them, but especially the Korean War Memorial. Being INSIDE the Supreme Court Building awed me. The National Mall was gigantic. (Smiles). We had a long wait to get into the Holocaust Museum, but it was worth while & saddening. The Metro and busses were very efficient, and all in all it was easy to find one's way around in DC!
DeleteLovely photos, will visit there someday!
ReplyDeleteYou would enjoy it.
DeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those wonderful photos from your visit to Washington DC. I had an opportunity to go there a few years ago, but was unable to travel. I'm hoping that at the next opportunity, I'll get to see it for real! My husband took many photographs too; I particularly was moved by the Korean War Memorial.
My poem is hopefully a move towards optimism...
Happy Sunday and New Week to All,
Eileen
Hi Eileen! Do visit if you have another opportunity. It was the Korean War Memorial that I found most moving of all of them, for some reason!
DeleteI have visited Washington so it is nice to see the pics. Things are busy at present so I shall post something from the past.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos... looking forward to visiting everyone.

Since school is wrapping up in many places I thought I'd post a blast from the past to ring in the season :) have a great day, everyone!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary -
ReplyDeleteI really would like to go there. Most of the times, I am assigned in Houston so no time to visit New York. LOL!
To everyone, I am sharing my recent trip in one the islands here in Japan. It is one of my favorite trips ever.
:-)
Washington DC I mean, not New York..
DeleteI'm late and will be later with reading. Have a lovely day, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI've been to a few of those places in D.C. We live about 45 minutes from there :D
ReplyDeleteI've read over a dozen. The pantry is filled with goodness today!
ReplyDeleteLove the Washington pictures. I've shared a poem about a poisonous mushroom today, and look forward to seeing what the NORMAL poets are sharing today.

I hope everyone enjoys there Sunday today!! Wonderful pictures, Mary!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSummer finally coming, and now how to find silence and sustainability when everything just expose their excitement out loud...Enjoy the Sun-day! ~ Thanks for photos, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Washington, DC so enjoyed seeing these. Thanks, Mary. Happy Sunday everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am poking along behind everyone....Wild Woman moves slowly these days. Welcome back, Mary. It must have been wonderful to see all of those sights. I recently read a memoir by a woman who managed to escape from North Korea, and her life of hardship is unimaginable..........it is called Stars Between the Sun and Moon. It is astonishing how very different North and South Korea are from each other. The memorial must have been very moving. Happy Sunday, all. Teetering into the Pantry now, will make my way, if slowly, on and off today. I sit at my desk so many hours a day my neck is actually getting tired from holding my head up!
ReplyDeleteMy internet is out. Will catch up later. Thanks to those who have visited me first.
ReplyDeleteWith the internet out, you get a little time for yourself. Thank you for the DC pics. I haven't been there in a long time. Have a good week Mary.
ReplyDeleteWell, my internet is back; and I have commented on most poems. I didn't comment on those of people for whom I am doubtful they will return comments. Sometimes it amazes me that people visit a site and do not, out of courtesy, respond to the poem of the facilitator of that site....even when the facilitator comments on their poem. If someone visits me, I will always visit in return. Obviously some just come to receive visits, and...well...my time is valuable too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing the pictures. I am a bit late today as things came up , but I will get to as many of you as I can tonight and tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great day!
ReplyDeleteWell I haven't been around much . . . sorry. I thank all of you who have reached out to let me know that I am missed. I miss you all as well. Lots of love :)
