I am sure you will be very happy to welcome Mary back in June, as you might be tiring of Tofino photos. Smiles. I will bring you something different next week, I promise. Meanwhile, all of Tofino is abloom, and I wanted to show you the Rhodo Hill, in full bloom right now.........truly a sight to see.
Happy Mother's Day, to all the moms out there, and those who love them. May you all have a beautiful day, celebrating the mothers in your lives. I hope some of you receive flowers, as you so deserve!
On Monday, we are featuring one of our newer members, the poet and artist Sreeja, who lives in Mumbai. Do stop by and leave her some words of welcome. On Wednesday, Susan is challenging us with the prompt: bicycles, tricycles and unicycles, which should inspire some interesting and amusing poems. And at the end of the week, Rosemary will intrigue and entertain us once more with her Friday feature. Be sure to scroll back to catch last Friday's feature, if you missed it. It features the inimitable Mama Zen, sharing one of her most spectacular poems. It is not to be missed!
Let's grab our coffee, and jump into this week's Pantry. Link your poem, enjoy the feast of poetry, and do visit other poets, in the spirit of community. Have a wonderful Mother's Day, everyone!
Hi everyone...what an amazing place to live in Sherry, it's beautiful. See you all on the trail.. also if you're on instagram, do drop in at @tp_poetry for pics and poetry. Much love.
BalasPadamHi Rajani, happy to see you.
PadamThis is a wonderful place... and amazing pictures. Here it's Sunday Morning and I'm ready to go out. I will trail the poetics later on today... See you all.
BalasPadamHave a great day, Bjorn. Be careful of your eye.
PadamThank you for another Pantry - and yes gorgeous snaps!
BalasPadamIt is always so nice to see you, Jae Rose.
PadamI love your Tofino pics and would love to gaze on the Ancient Ones - I love trees. Thanks for the warmth that is always offered here.
BalasPadamAnna :o]
The old growth forests are amazing, Anna....not much left on the Island and they are still clearcutting as fast as they can, and shipping raw logs away. Insanity.
PadamLuvving those Tofino pic, especially the trees
BalasPadamHappy Mother's Day to Pantry mothers. Do come over and have a taste of my Mother's Day music sample today. Its Trini; its Spicy.
much love...
Hope you have a wonderful one, Gillena.
PadamGorgeous pictures, Sherry ❤️ sharing my poem Untitled (when words seem not enough) Happy Sunday everyone!
BalasPadamThere are times when words seem not enough. I love that title.
PadamYesterday and today could not post comments to Sanaa's blog; getting some kind of data message saying the comment did not go through
BalasPadammuch love...
Same thing happened to me, Sanaa. Loved your poem, unable to comment on site.
PadamI received your comment and replied too❤️
PadamGood morning, friends, and Happy Mother's Day to all who are, and all you have, MOTHERS! I have a busy morning, so will make the rounds, and catch up to later visitors this afternoon.
BalasPadamWHO Have!
PadamDefinitely not tired of the Tofino photos! Obviously a place with a lot of visual romance.
BalasPadamPS about to go to bed after a happy mother's day, which I wish all of you who are still in the middle of it; will read all your poems tomorrow.
PadamA romance is what it is, Rosemary. It is like getting back together with the lover you never got over.
PadamWhat magical photos! I especially love the Tuff City in Clouds one....so gorgeous. Happy Mother's Day :-)
BalasPadamSurrounded by beauty, the villagers never stop smiling!
PadamSherry, you keep coming up with the most beautiful photos!! What a beautiful place you live in. Thank you for minding the Pantry while I am away. I look forward to being back home.
BalasPadamSaying hello to all of my Pantry and Midweek Motif friends! Glad to see such a full pantry already.
Happy Mother's Day to those of you for whom this day has meaning!!
Lovely to see you, Mary. I hope you are enjoying your time off. Smiles.
PadamI'll actually miss pictures of Tofino once you stop sharing them. These are spectacular. Love them.
BalasPadamHope you and all have a wonderful Mothers Day.
I will keep posting them on my blog, kiddo....no end of photo opps here!
PadamHappy Mothers Day to all.
BalasPadamAnd to you, Cressida.
PadamWow! That was a picturesque way to open the pantry door.
BalasPadamLate start for me, wish I had a good excuse but runnin' slow and steady sometimes gets me there a week late :)

Oh, for Pete's sake! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY regardless of the species in nature and in our lives we all nurture. Today we remember our source.
PadamYes, we all nurture. Nice to see you, kiddo.
PadamHi All, The old Wickaninnish Inn, Now that looks good
BalasPadamIt used to be my fave restaurant. Now it is a First Nations information Centre, which is lovely. Long ago, it was an Inn, and there were rustic cabins on the beach.
BalasPadamLove those pictures. Thank you. More?
BalasPadamNext week I will share something different. But I will soon be posting some beach shots on my blog. Smiles. I kick myself every time I go to the beach without my camera. Every time is different...colours, clouds, sky, colour of the sea, size of the waves. I need to learn to always carry it.
BalasPadamTofino pics are wonderful, esp. with a beach one.. I'm trying to return to writing from different angle, using Tarot cards. Hope, you find it interesting.. Happy Mother's Day, friends!
BalasPadamSo nice to see you, Humbird! The use of Tarot does sound interesting.
PadamSuch lovely pictures! Thanks for sharing :))
BalasPadamYou are most welcome, and welcome to Poets United!
PadamI won't be linking today as I'm late and don't have time to read, it's not fair. But I will be back on Wednesday for the write about bicycles. How can I resist? Thank you, Mary! Wonderful photos Sherry I don't get tired of them. Nice feature about our new poetess I just read it. Have a great week!
BalasPadamGroup hug!
I meant, thank you, Susan! So sorry! Lol!
Padam
