Just looked over this entire page. All are smashing shots!

Cosine, I'm with you...how did we miss waterfalls for so long. LOL

And Chrisy, how did you get the orange hue overall? Of course, if it is a trade secret that's understandable too:)  I just asked myself, "Self, how would you duplicate that?"

David (Fred255), I've liked this subject so well, I'm including more action in my own gallery. It adds another dimension and livens things up a bit.

Great job all,
Bill

I continue to be impressed, and continue to be without anything to contribute!!  All I have are blurry shots that aren't quite in the spirit of the challenge.

"Whew!"

Ooops, spray of a different kind.  Well I guess it does not really qualify, as the horse was atanding quite still - for a long time!

My daughter took a ride at a craft market and the horse suddenly stopped.  Hmm.

Cheers,
Clive

Lifestar, an emergency helicopter ambulance on the way to the hospital...soon enough another went over my head.  I hope reason the second was the same 'copter and some disaster required two.

These folks are use more often than not for extracting 4 wheelers and motorcyclists off a local mountain reclaimed from strip mining to become a climbing event every weekend.  Seems the 4 wheelers have more problems than the trail bikes.  Today, the Lifestar could have been from anywhere around here.

And this one, a mocking bird preparing to land on a pipe...sorry the image is not better, this is only 18% of the original frame and blown up a lot...didn't have a long enough lens when it happened.

I don't know if this is an 'action' photo, but I've chosen it because I like these taggers. Actually we got acquainted and I discovered that the girl is the president of an association of taggers in Padova. I've been going around and I'll post freshly-made pics in the next few days! Ciao, Sandra

My computer was down all weekend, but I got some action shots!  Boy, I can tell you I was just chompin' at the bit to get these up here!  I go all month with nothing, and then I get two and can't post 'em!  It figures.

Anyway ... this first one was taken up on the North Cascades highway on Saturday.  Sig (junge1) and I went up there.  We were parked by the side of the road, and I shot this motorcyclist on his way down the hill.  He was probably doing about 50mph.

Then on Sunday I was at my friend Linda's 60th birthday party, and people were dancing.

I missed out while I was gone!  You guys have posted some awesome stuff.  It's good to be back!

This was the Padova lap of the Italian Bicycle Tour, about 50 metres from my home last week. I was going home when my car was stopped: I left Flavia at the wheel and rushed to wait for the cyclists. They appeared almost immediately, with their supply cars and the reporters on motorbikes and Vespas, like the ones in the foreground with the camera, I've nicknamed Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

Call this **JERK**....action enough.  The kid on the jet ski had run in tight circles standing up for a while, possibly to impress the girl.  Then they went riding together and he showed how close he could get to a mother duck and her babies... much,closer than is this shot.   He also showed how he could run through a group of geese and make all of them fly at once. 

Anyway, here 'tis...actions of a jerk.

Coincidentally I have been trying to learn my new camera and trying to get action shots this month.  Here is my cat with a grasshopper.

Look at those spread paws!  Cats are so funny sometimes.  We have a  house full.

Hi All

I scanned through all the amazing images and you guys all motivated me to get in on the "action"!!!! (no pun intended) My action image is little kids on a roundabout at a park where we took Kayla, my granddaughter, last weekend! She is the one in the pink dress on the "sheep" which she insisted on calling the horse!!!!

Hugs, Carin xx

I'll title this one 'Just a little Scratching'. I took it just before the cyclists. I had some agonising moments trying to choose my 3rd post. in the end I chose this one because it makes me smile. The officer thought that nobody was going to see him, and he was riding fast enough. ;D) Ciao, Sandra

Dang!  I have one more action shot, but it's on my computer, and I'm on somebody else's laptop while my computer is being fixed.  Maybe I'll be up before the clock ticks over to June!
