Occasionally I like to take part in these themed postathons, and Ailsa’s are always great. This time the theme is motion, and you can find many more over at her blog post on Where’s My Backpack.

I think you can feel this stream in Oregon rolling through the mossy forest.

Horses in motion are my favorite. Here my girl Khallie is faster than her mom!

Amazing. Some of these look like paintings rather than photographs. They look great really big, I think.
Thanks so much!
Oh wow! Your photos are amazing! 🙂
There are so many wonderful photos depicting the challenge of – MOTION – it is hard to pick one but if I had to one I would select Sun Dancer. There is a playful joy in the way the horse was captured. ~~~~ : – )
Thanks a bunch gang!

Motion at her best. All great shots. Love the way the waves pound against the Oregon coast in the first photograph.
Awesome!
Wow, wow, wow!
