There are times to be in motion
flowing with life's dance,
and there are times to be absolutely still
and silent.
Still flowing in life's dance but to a different tempo.
My partner and I had another chance meeting with a couple of young men who came over to fuss our dogs.
I love these random interactions.
As we talked, another man started skating on the central paved area which looks something like a modern day amphitheatre.
I asked the men if this was the same man who sometimes dances on his skateboard here (who I'd really like to photograph), and they knew in an instant who I was talking about.
'Ah no, that'll be crazy Chris.'
They then shouted over to the skater who introduced himself as Jimski A very amiable character who agreed to me photographing him as he breezed effortlessly around the circle.
Saw this duck flying over the water, hit by the morning sun. Got sharp focus on that eye, but the shutter speed was slow for the wing motion (ducks flap fast, due to those small wings relative to their weight). Still, kinda liked the effect!
A US quarter with George Washington's countenance spinning on the dresser while I swiped the camera toward the subject. HMM!
Watch your step when you walk to me
Careful where your heart treads
Suddenly you'll be in too deep
You'll be caught up in my web
You will think of me constantly
It'll drive you insane
Like the tattoo you can't remove
Like the blood in your veins
Some days if you stand still enough you can actually feel the universe spinning around you; ebb and flow, endings and beginnings.
Swallowtails are notoriously challenging to shoot because they're in almost constant fluttering motion. But their four wing parts actually move separately, with the forward wings moving the most. So it you focus on the back wings it's possible to capture both their gorgeous color and the lovely flow of their forward wings. This is an Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes asterius).
A very difficult theme, at least for me.
This is about 5cm.
Happy Macro Monday

I saved several photos from my shoot in Ripon, CA. to post here and there. I used the wind and a longish shutter for the effect.

Motion blur with a feather. A very small fluffy feather found on the patio today. HMM:) Thank you all for your kind comments.
A 1.25" wheel from a miniature plastic bicycle. It was difficult to turn the wheel with my finger and take the picture with my other hand. But it was fun and I don't always take these pictures.
Macro Mondays: "Motion Blur"
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and comment! I really appreciate it!
You know we make a lot of connections here. I know it's the internet and I know you can't trust people here and you CAN trust people here. I have been very fortunate to have made what I consider many friends. I have learned and trusted and loved here. Today, I am saying goodbye to someone who has been a friend here for 5 years or more, one of my first contacts. Someone who is has inspired me and helped me along my journey.
I know I talk about Francesca Woodman and the inspiration in the motion that I have found, but "Olga" , was one of the first people in my real world that was actually practicing the fine art of motion.. and she was Canadian, :) She had such a wonderful energy and aura. Thank you for sharing your world with so many of us. My heart is broken ~
Rest in Peace, my friend

Luckily these two Geese had an almost identical take off speed., meaning both their heads panned to a reasonable sharpness even at 1/50 SS
