This week’s photo challenge asks us to capture Motion. I once again find myself looking for inspiration in nature.
Here, in a bird sanctuary where all of the birds were in various states of repose save for one captured in flight:
Here, where shore birds, with the backdrop of the constant motion of the sea, scattered in flight at our approach:
Here, where the endless flow of the water persists throughout the changes of time and season:

Wow! I love that pic of the birds! Normally I don’t even like birds, but that’s a great pic and fits this theme perfectly!

Thanks! Shortly after that shot was taken there was an epic bird fight – we hit the bricks in a hurry to avoid being dive-bombed! 😉

Thank you! It was a beautiful day on the beach, and we had it nearly to ourselves. Well, just us and the birds, and they didn’t appreciate our intrusion… 😉

These photos capture “Motion” perfectly! I especially like the bird sanctuary one…it’s amazing how the birds are all hanging out together! I’ve never been to one but it looks like an incredible place!
Happy Sunday!

They were playing nice, but then one mean bully bird started a bird fight. They were squawking and pecking at each other like crazy. We got out of there at that point! 🙂

Thanks, George! I just use a little Canon Power Shot. I am 100% amateur with photography, but I’m learning to play around and clean up the pictures in iPhoto on my MacBook.

I think you’re a little better than 100% amateur based on those pictures. Nice work.

Poetry 101: The Five Senses: see, hear, touch, taste, and smell + kinesis (motion or non-motion). I loved this part about beginning poetry. Thanks for the motion. “since feeling is first” writes e. e. cummings. “The sea is calm tonight” writes Arnold. Beautiful. Oh, Beginnings 101: What is the difference between “sensuous” and “sensual”? “Ah, those sensuous details in Sappho’s poetry are so sensual.” Thanks for your “amateur” beauteous photography.
