Action shots are tricky yet exciting form of photography. Many times every thing pauses for a picture. Striking a balance of action blur with elements in focus, create some of the most exciting photographs.

Quote for my picture
I searched the web for a quote I heard years ago that seemed to suit this picture.
From Wikiquote
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Peking, February 1934, "The Evolution of Chastity" in Toward the Future, London: Collins, 1975: 86-87.

Back to Blue
I hadn't forgotten my blue theme. I am finding that a theme gives me a subject when I am too tired to think of an idea. Scrolling through my pictures I found these delicate blue beauties. Enjoy the day.
Hide Out
Usually our heron hangs out by the lake but something spooked him and sent him sailing up to the tree tops.

HOT and More HOT
Flashed fried before it died. This delicate paper rose is real. The petals didn't have a chance to fall off before being baked mercilessly by the scorching Sun. Phoenix in the summer hot is too hot for anything.

Courage to go forward
I was suffering from feeling discouraged and overwhelmed. Deena shared a poem that struck at the core issue - self doubt. Her words are beautiful. Fortunately, she was browsing through my pictures and suggested I combine her words with my picture I posted in January. This is the results. You may need to click on the picture to get it large enough to read. To view Deena's link, click here, or you may need to copy and paste.

Thanks Deena. I enjoyed collaborating with you.

God Bless America
I stayed home from the fireworks this year. My way of keeping the Sabbath day holy constrains me from working on Sunday if I can avoid it. My thoughts were turned to my Heavenly Father and Jesus. Our country is built on our belief in God and obeying his commandments. I love fireworks so I posted more from last year. I will look forward to next year.

New month
I learned a few things this past month with a theme of 'Red'. First I got in a rut. Second I didn't post somedays because I just wasn't feeling Red. (The cliche is actually 'being in the pink.') Third my favorite ducks and park pictures often didn't have red. I did explore older pictures. I thought more about what I was shooting pictures of and opened to possible themes. July is Blue with patriotic flavor since I live in the USA and this is our independence on July 4th. I will explore blue but treat myself and you to other ideas that come to mind.

Red, Red fruit
The infamous red dye added to food to make them look delicious and perhaps forbidden. One of my favorite photo bloggers Nikon Sniper captured red apples in a way that couldn't be beat http://nikonsniper.blogspot.com/
9 pictures done labeled "How do you like them apples." I decided not to run out and copy his shot but link you to his original. Red in your food checkout what you are eating today. Red M&Ms, apples, cherries, raspberries, cherries, chilis, peppers, reds spice up your dishes and delight your eyes. Gooo RED.
