June Theme: Water In Motion

Water is everywhere around us..streams, lakes, rivers, waterfalls. This months theme is water in motion. Show us your images and creativity in various water forms. Let your imagination go with abstracts as well. Wildlife photographers should have some great captures in this theme too. I'll start with a couple of recent shots I took.

Here's another abstract I captured a few weeks ago on the South Platte River

Crystal River near Redstone.

Blackwater Falls S.P., West Virginia

Jack, a familiar scene right? Nice topic, I immediately thought of this day at Crystal River Mill last June 19th. I spent the night up at the Mill and enjoyed a huge run-off event. I got pretty low for this shot and continously had to fight off mist on my lens.

Milton Creek Falls.

"Threads of Silver"

A stream along the Ice Fields Parkway in Banff N.P.

Here's a section of Panther Creek Falls located north of Carson, WA.

Platte river near Bailey, Co

Pam, that looks like almost the same spot where I took my photo above..the first one. About a mile past Coney Island hot dog place. Nice capture!

Avalanche Gorge, Montana.

An attempt at a water flowing abstract from a nameless falls in the San Juans.

Heres one from the Lee's Ferry area near Page,AZ.

Glacier National Park, Montana.

Sorry for the re-post, but I think this one fits pretty good for this month's theme. I have a lot of others, but this was my favorite for water movement. I will post more as well though since this is a re-post.

Seems there are a few outside the confines of the RMNP area so I'll toss mine in. One from my current trip that I haven't posted yet. The Sol Duc River on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington.

When artist and the medium meet together, who knows the result?

Boy, stiff competition around here! I've got a little series assembled, all from the central Idaho wilderness. First up, gently moving water, Middle Fork of the Salmon.

Freefalling water, Veil Falls, Frank Church Wilderness

Raging water, Tappan Falls, Middle Fork of the Salmon

And perfectly moving water, Selway River

Alberta Falls, Rocky Mtn. National Park

Mcgee creek eastern sierras

Early morning light on Canary Springs in March, Yellowstone National Park

Boiling River, Yellowstone National Park

Love your shot of the Boiling river Deb! Your choice of shutter speed did great things for the mist above the river.

Fluid chaos...I'd never seen so many flow patterns going every which way...Northern New Mexico, autumn.

Fire in the Rocks - Horsetail Falls, Yosemite NP, CA

Softly Flowing - Avalanche Creek, Glacier NP, MT

Palouse Falls - Palouse Falls State Park, WA

Sand & Time, Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO

Unbelievable shots coming in this month! I, "Pity the fool," in the words of Mr. T, that has to choose the winner. Could be another grouping.

Here are a few older ones. I need to shoot more moving water. Especially after last night's maelstrom here in Parker.

The first one is the Grandaddy of them all...Upper Yellowstone Falls.

Treasure Falls on a cold Autumn morning.

Boulder Creek exploding against a rock.

Punchbowl Falls, Columbia River Gorge...in my top 10 of favorite places in the world

Palouse Falls wrapped in evening light. A great spot to shoot and only a couple hrs from my house.

One of my favorite places to shoot, Glacier National Park. Hands down the most beautiful park in the US in my opinion.

Small cascades in the narrows of west fork of oak creek canyon

I took this shot at Queen's Bath in Kauai.

The sun hitting the bottom of Bridal Veil Falls

Unnamed, and for the most part, unknown falls somewhere on the Flat Tops. I try to get to these at least once a year since the canyon they're in have a couple more falls.

Wow, I knew there would be some awesome entries here! This is from one of my favorite places - North Clear Creek Falls. It was a challenge keeping the lens mist-free to take this shot.

Mistbow at Sol Duc Falls, Olympic National Park, WA

So many wonderful images. The talent level here is truly amazing. I'm feeling a bit humbled but here's another one from my recent trip. Ponytail Falls in the Columbia Gorge.

This is from Left Fork North Creek in Zion with some heavy spring runoff.

One from Cuyahoga Valley NP near Cleveland, Ohio. I used to live pretty close to the park.

"Tiger, tiger burning bright."

I thought the stripes looked like tiger stripes.

The Colorado River last week at the Hanging Lake rest stop.

Upper McCord Creek Falls, OR

Amy, that is just STUNNING! Looks like the winner to me

Wow...we've got some amazing shots this month! It's going to be difficult selecting an image for the home page.

Thanks Pam! I absolutely love the Columbia River Gorge. I've only been once, but it very quickly rose to my top 3 favorite places to photograph.

This small stream flows beside the dirt road to the Grays Peak trail head.
