Just do it ACTION!

Sometimes you just want to be outside.
Today is definitely one of those days!
Unfortunately - I'm stuck inside, neck deep in work.
Fortunately - I can live vicariously through other's action joy :)

Cast can't stop me ACTION!

Kim's shot from Bellerose, NY reminds us that every day is a

good day for action.

No more excuses.
Backyard or barnyard...little kid or grown adult...broken arm or legs of steal...
Anywhere, anytime, anyone - make that your new action shot motto!
(and don't forget to send me your picture ;)

Wednesday's Family ACTION!

Phew, what a week! Two days down, three to go...we can do it!
How can we do it?? By taking a moment to enjoy some great action :)

Family Easter ACTION!

I love Helena's shot taken in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Her family really knows how to kick up their heels and have a great time!

Ahhh, I can think of few things I enjoy more than a family action shot!

(that's your cue - grab your family and get to jumpin' ;)

Back On Track ACTION!

While still not in the clear, things are looking a bit more promising for my poor little laptop so the tides they are a turnin'! :)

I won't be able to do full posts until we are all in the clear but how about some abbreviated action to hold us over?

Trois amis ACTION!

Beautiful Saint Jean d'étreux, France is the stunning backdrop for Matthieu's great action shot.

Do you have any "three amigos" shots of your own? No? Then get out there and start jumpin' already! The world is eagerly awaiting your action :)

Sigh.

Still struggling with laptop issues, which puts action to a halt for a bit. Fingers crossed we're up and jumpin' in a day or two (...that gives everyone a couple days to take some shots, right? ;)

Kick Up Some Sand ACTION!

Well, my laptop crashed yesterday. BUT...no sense in dwelling...

Luckily there are some great action shots to help take my mind of the unfortunate situation :)

Eat my dust ACTION!

Chuck captured this wonderful fun in the sun shot from

Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Jumpin' for joy ACTION!

Steve's shot of the group at play on Jocky's Ridge dune in Kitty Hawk show just how much fun can be had in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Don't have any sand near by to go dig your toes into? Well, pretend you do! Just humor me and get out there and jump - I need some good action to help wrap up this crappy weekend ;)

Friday Fun ACTION!

Ahhh, the joy of youth! Do you remember the freedom of being a child? How about some kiddo action to take us back to those carefree days :)

BFF ACTION!

Smile! Andy's shot of his daughter and her friend in Ireland should make you grin from ear to ear!

Sweet sisters ACTION

Looks like they are having a great time in Des Moines, where Stephanie captured her darling girls Hailey & Jordan in action!

One, Two, THREE ACTION!

Sometimes one jumper just doesn't cut it...nor does two for that matter. Nope, on days like today, the power of action comes in three :)

Kick it real good ACTION!!

Flip's shot with his pals at George Ward Park in Birmingham, AL certainly has the extra pizazz we're looking for in some Sunday action...

Triple the skills ACTION!!

As does Stefan's shot with his cousins in Olten, Switzerland. Action skills obviously run in this family!

It's time to embrace the power of three! Grab your brother & sister, a couple of friends, your kids - and show me that three is the way to be when it comes to action :)

The sky is a beautiful thing, particularly during an awe inspiring sunrise or sunset. The colors, the calm, the clouds...add to that some action and you've got the recipe for pure bliss :)

David's shot from Venice Beach, CA shows the power of a pair in action!

Livin' on the edge ACTION!

Rhossili, on the Gower Peninsula, in South Wales is the perfect location for Keri's thrilling action shot!

Saying goodnight to the sun as a passive observer is fine and dandy but bidding it farewell as an active participant takes the cake! Do it the right way - the ONLY way - with some awe inspiring action of your own :)

O, Happy Day ACTION!

Stand tall and stand proud because...we have SURVIVED!!! Another work week bites the dust (cue the Queen theme music ;). If that doesn't earn us some kick ass action, then I don't know what does!

Catch me if you can ACTION!

Craig's shot shows us just how well they know how to represent some quality action in St. Mary, Jamaica!

Let's not discount those in Harrogate. Tom's shot show us just how well they can jump in the UK!

Free fallin' ACTION!

Finally, there's Stuart's shot from the Tentsmuir Forest in Fife, Scotland, where the beautiful sky provides the perfect backdrop for some stellar action!

Now pat yourselves on the back. Today marks the 2nd week of the blog! It's because of you all - friends, family, and strangers - that this celebration of the much loved action shot is possible. Keep jumpin', keep sharing, and keep smiling :)

Thursday Beach ACTION!

Raise your hand if you'd rather be at the beach than where ever you are right now...

Fab 5 ACTION!

Michelle's shot at Clearwater Beach is epitome of great group action, brimming with joy and cheerfulness!

Dress up ACTION!

Tuesday. Not a whole lot happens on Tuesdays. It's not the beginning and it's not the end. Heck, it's not even the middle - it's just a day stuck somewhere in between. Which is all the more reason why we need to spice it up a bit...to go out of our way to make it feel special. How might we do that, you ask? By puttin' on our party shoes and diggin' into some action, of coarse! :)

Law Prom ACTION!

Just Another Monday ACTION!

It's doubtful that many of us sprung outta bed this morning and exclaimed, "Woo HOO...so glad it's finally Monday!"

Au contraire! For most of us, it's a bit of a struggle to let go of the weekend and get back in the work week groove. So how about some action shot sass to help jump start your Monday engine?! :)

Gotcha ACTION!

They certainly know what we're talking about in Singapore, where Mariah and company know how to strike an action pose at the Republic Polytechnic.

Do YOU know what we're talking about?? Prove it!

Put on those action shoes and get to jumpin'! :)

Sunday Funday ACTION!

Ahhhhh, it's a good day! Good for plenty of reasons...perhaps because it's another day to sleep in...or maybe because it's the Easter holiday...or it could be that it's simply a beautiful April day...

Bottom line -it's Sunday, it's Spring, and it's time for some action shot FUN :)

TGIF ACTION!

A little louder now....

Now let's celebrate right, with a little action :)

Up, up and away ACTION!

Friday excitement is hardly limited to the good ol' US-of-A...

nor is the excitement one experiences when doing some action, as seen in this great shot from Berlon taken in the beautiful city of Chisinau in Moldova.

Holy big pyramid ACTION!

Anirudh also captures a whole lotta action shot excitement in this wonderful picture taken in Mexico, atop the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán.

And I know they're not the only one's celebrating...get out there and make me proud with a little TGIF action of your own :)

This Young House ACTION!

Did you know that Thursdays are good days for discovery? Hmm, discovering what, you ask? Well, how about that fellow bloggers love action as much as we do :)

Hwy 1, here we come ACTION!

Honeymoon happiness ACTION! Catchin' some rays ACTION!

Don't let the sun go down on me ACTION!Earlier this week, my good friend Jenn pointed me in the direction of a fabulous blog she faithfully follows called

This Young House . Imagine my excitement when I discovered that Sherry & John not only have a fabulous home improvement and decorating site, but that they also love action!

I can think of not a better way to enjoy the beauty of the Alaskan nature than to stop for some action, as they did on their honeymoon when they took some shots on their way to Seward. But wait! Their love didn't stop there. Oh no, it continued while on vacation to Madeira Beach, where the sand proved the perfect foundation for even more action! Ahhh, nothing says love like some fun action shots :)

WAIT...just stumbled upon one more that we simply can't pass up! it's their very first action shot together, along the Pacific coast on the way to Big Sur...awwwww!

And so it begins ACTION!

Happy Birthday Sis ACTION!

What makes today a fabulous Wednesday, you ask? Because it's my little sister's birthday, that's why! And it only seems fitting that we take a moment to celebrate her big day in style, with a walk down her action memory lane ;)
