Hello friends! How’s your week going? Mine’s started off busy - as usual. I’m really glad for my walks in nature and I really enjoy going through the photos to select them for each of these posts. Today we have lots of splashes, which are very common in March. I hope you enjoy today’s selections!

Most of the movement is in the waist and the hips. When the women dance close together, there is vigorous activity under their skirts but they are quite heavy so all you see is the skirts billowing, but the sashes on their waists are more dramatic. The slimmer upper body is not supposed to move much; just some inevitable bust shakes and hands swirling sometimes.
I'm always attracted to the movement of water, the way it reflects light and air and color and gobbles it all up into patterns of fleeting woven moments. Look quick! The beauty of the camera lens to fast freeze and hold it from disappearing.
