Florida Photos -
by Sherri Brannan
Good Sunday, Poets! Welcome to yet another Poetry Pantry. This is Labor Day weekend in both the United States and Canada. We are having the last family barbecue of the season on Monday. I would guess that many of you will be doing the same.
Today we have photos of Florida which were contributed by Sherri Brannon! The clouds are really beautifully photographed, aren't they? Thanks so much, Sherri.
And thinking of Sherri, please stop back tomorrow, as Sherry Blue Sky will be doing an update with Sherri Brannon in her Blog of the Week feature. I have had a sneak peak at the interview/article, and I know you will enjoy it. And...if you enjoy Sherri's photos today, the interview includes even more beautiful photography, as well as (of course) poetry!
Stop back on Wednesday for Midweek Motif. Sumana's prompt is "boredom." I would guess we all would be able to identify with that sometime. Susan continues to heal, and I am sure you were as happy as I was to see her at both Poetry Pantry & Midweek Motif this past week. Hope you will be back soon at Midweek Motif, Susan.
If you haven't read Rosemary's The Living Dead, please take a look. She features the poet Kenneth Rexroth & his poem "Airs and Angels: This Night Only." And, of course, she includes a lot of interesting information about the poet as well.
If you have Facebook, do think about following Poets United on Facebook. That way you are informed of each new feature.
Do have a good day & a poetic week! Thank you for making Poets United such a successful site!
Thank you for opening the pantry doors again - yes..it's a very fine neighbourhood!
BalasPadamSherri's photos are sheer poetry - my offering this week is far less picturesque. Its a great community which I enjoy visiting though frustrating for me as a wordpresser to prove I'm not a robot everytime I want to comment on a blogger's post
BalasPadamIf you set up a google account, you can link it to your WP site. You only have to do this once and then as long as you are signed in, you dont have that headache.
PadamBlogger users can not remove the you are not a robot requirement, so there is nothing they can do about it - other than complain to google.
This collection of photos is superb. Really beautifully composed.
BalasPadammagnificent photos Sherri...a very happy Sunday to you all :)
BalasPadamYou're the only person who managed to figure out the poem till now! :D
Padamxoxo
Thanks so much for featuring my photography today - I'm honored! Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday. :)
BalasPadamReally nice framing on that first shot. I think it is my fav.
PadamAre you on the east or west coast of Florida?
I lived down there for several years and have traveled all over the state
at different times. Its a beautiful state.
I'm in Central Florida, near Ocala. I'd love to be on the coast if we could! But we have family here. It is a beautiful place, I agree!
PadamI have been to Ocala. Just south of Gainesville.
PadamIt seems those skies are in control and the land is mere projection. Fine art!
PadamThese are spectacular photos Sherri. Thanks for sharing them. Good Sunday Morning to all....it is Labor Day weekend, and I look forward to relaxing a bit although the garden never sleeps. Looking forward to stopping by each blog for some poetry reading today! Have a great day....
BalasPadamHey everyone,
BalasPadamHope you're having a lovely weekend.. sharing my poem "Anticipation" hope you all like it. Thank you Sherri for sharing your pictures with us.. they are breathtaking! :D

Sanaa
Having just been down in miami, these sights are familiar. I used to live in central florida as well once upon a time.
BalasPadamHappy Sunday everyone,I will be around.
Good morning, Poets! Happy Labor Day weekend to those of you who live in the US or Canada. I hope that this, one of the last weekends of summer, will be an enjoyable (and poetic?) time for you! I am on my way around now.
BalasPadamReally beautiful photos. Thank you! I will be back to read soon!
BalasPadamHope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!
BalasPadamHey! What gorgeous photos! I am going to try to read all, but will take my time. I'm still reading in stretches of just about an hour at a time. But what a day for poetry! Everything I've read so far is thrilling.
BalasPadamIt's so nice to be here and to see familiar names after such a long time :D
BalasPadamA happy Sunday to all here today
BalasPadammuch love...
I have to say at this grey day in Stockholm.. I long for palm-treas like that.
BalasPadamPlease excuse my Christian poem for today. i hope you guys don't mind. Thanks to all for the comments on last week's poem. I will comment on posts later on today and tomorrow. God bless.
BalasPadamHappy weekend, everyone. I am under the weather from fatigue, so will be moving slowly through the pantry today. Sherri, your photos are beautiful. Sunsets are my favorite thing, I think.
BalasPadamGood morning, all. A pleasure to be greeted by the wonderful photos on this open link day. I know the poetry will match.
BalasPadamBeautiful photos Sherri! Back here after a long time with a poem. Hopping to your blogs now!
BalasPadamSharing. Thanks.
BalasPadamBeautiful clicks! Thanks for sharing, Sherri... :-)
BalasPadamLovely photos. I had a very nice time in Florida, on my first visit to America (getting to be along time ago now). A delightful place!
BalasPadamBeautiful photos, Sherri. I live in Florida. It always amazes me how photos seem to capture the true Paradise it can be.
BalasPadamJust saying hi, today. I might try to read some. Today on my blog, I only mention another poets link up who I admire, so you might want to check her out. Her name is Shadow.
Have a pleasant holiday.
