This week’s WordPress photo challenge is “on the move.” I immediately thought of the metro system in Washington DC, the long escalators down to the train platforms, the swish of wind just before the train arrives, the lights glowing then speeding away. But I’ve shown you all of that. And I thought about going down to Detroit and showing you the People Mover, Detroit’s version of mass transit, and some day I will.
But for this challenge I went a bit more natural, and headed out to my favorite park – a place I used to run every weekend when I was training for an event, and a place that still holds my heart. It was a beautiful day and I have so much to show you, but for this, a photo challenge, I’m choosing just one.
I sat in cool tall grass high on a hill and watched the runners bikers and walkers as they made their way around the base of the hill through a beautiful meadow. I could have sat there for hours. In fact I did.
You can see some favorite on the move entries from others here, here, and here. These challenges are so much fun for me, especially when I get to go on little photo adventures to find something new. You should try it for yourself. You never know what you’ll find until you go out looking.
And soon, I promise you, I’ll show you what else I found at the park.
It was wonderful.

Pawsome picture. Knowing our Mommy, she somehow would have rolled all the way down that hill. Would have made a good “on the move” photo too! Have a great day!

Love it! The rolling hills covered in there’s-nothing-like-spring-green, and the bicyclist with his spring green backpack.

That’s the part liked too, the bike rider’s green matched.

it is that time of year when just sitting and watching the world go by is the best thing to do 🙂

Ooh, it looks like things are starting to green up a bit — yeah, Spring! Good illustration of ‘On the Move,’ and kudos to you for getting in some nature appreciation time as well!

I like it too. When I can find time I’m post some of the ‘also ran’ photos I took that show On The Move out at the park.

The disappearing curve of the path, the bright green all around picked up on the cyclist, too, make this a perfect photo, Dawn.

I like the curve too, and the colors and just everything. And I didn’t even have to edit it! 🙂

Yes, this photo had that on-the-move feeling to it. Was just looking at those you didn’t choose and then had to click over here to see the winner. Wonderful! And it looks so spring-like with the green.
