We present HST/ACS images and color-magnitude diagrams for 25 nearby galaxies with radial velocities V _ { LG } < 500 km s ^ { -1 } .
Distances are determined based on the luminosities of stars at the tip of the red giant branch that range from 2 Mpc to 12 Mpc .
Two of the galaxies , NGC 4163 and IC 4662 , are found to be the nearest known representatives of blue compact dwarf ( BCD ) objects .

Using high-quality data on distances and radial velocities of 110 nearby field galaxies , we derive their mean Hubble ratio to be 68 km s ^ { -1 } Mpc ^ { -1 } with standard deviation of 15 km s ^ { -1 } Mpc ^ { -1 } .
Peculiar velocities of most of the galaxies , V _ { pec } = V _ { LG } -68 D , follow a Gaussian distribution with \sigma _ { v } = 63 km s ^ { -1 } , but with a tail towards high negative values .
Our data displays the known correlation between peculiar velocity and galaxy elevation above the Local Supercluster plane .
The small observed fraction of galaxies with high peculiar velocities , V _ { pec } < -500 km s ^ { -1 } , may be understood as objects associated with nearby groups ( Coma I , Eridanus ) outside the Local volume .
