Round Robin Challenge: Bottled Up (for 8/8/09)

Hi, Robins! For the next Challenge, let's combine several suggestions to focus on something we reach for a lot in the summertime - something to drink! Based on my version of this theme, we're calling it

NOW CLOSED!
Bottled Up!
our Round Robin Photo Challenge
for Saturday, August 8, 2009



Here's what I originally had to say about this topic:


Bottled Up - Show us a bottle. Is it glass or plastic? Is it old? Is there a message inside? Will the contents give you a buzz, or help you fight a cold? You decide!

Maybe it's not the bottle that matters, but the label. Kim of Nekked Lizard Adventures suggests this variant:

Your favorite wine label (or other favorite beverage)

Carly's suggestion focuses on what's inside the bottle:

Quench My Thirst - Take a photograph of your favorite beverage, in an artistic light. Include a recipe if you have created a completely unique drink.

So there you go! Photograph a bottle or other drinking vessel, its label, and/or whatever liquid refreshment is inside. Make it artsy, make it fun, make it send us running to the fridge or the supermarket, or even the liquor store. It's up to you! Just be sure to follow the usual guidelines:

1. Do RSVP in the comments below with your first name or online handle, your blog name, and your blog URL, thus:

I'll drink to that!

Be sure to mention is it's your first time participating, so that we can welcome you properly. If you've recently changed blogs, blog title or blog url, please tell us that, too!

2. Do NOT post early! Post your entry no sooner than Saturday, August 8th, any time during that day. In a pinch you may post up to six days later, but it's best if you can do it on the day.

3. DO include a link to this blog or this blog entry. If you like, you can also include some version of our linking list, which will be posted here around midnight as the Challenge date begins.

Got it? Good! Go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: My Vehicle Of Choice


Hi Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

Save the date! Our next challenge, "My Vehicle Of Choice" will take place on Saturday, July 25th! This challenge comes to us by way of Suzanne, author of the blog, "Suzyq421's Photo Blog."

It's a pretty simple idea, just grab your cameras and photograph your car. If you don't happen to drive, then your bike or your boat, or your favorite form of mass transit will done just fine. Heck... even good old feet will do as well! That's all there is to it, well, except for a few things we ask you to keep in mind about the challenges...

1. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE! You will not be linked to until the day of the challenge, so it serves no purpose to post early, and it makes me grumpy... lol... (Just Kidding) so let's not do that... ok? :)

2. Please R.S.V.P. by leaving us your information.

Your first name
The title of your blog, journal or website
The full address of your blog, journal or website

We need this information EACH time you play. Why? Well, because folks sometimes change the address of their blog, or they change the name of their blog, and it can be confusing when we try to link to you. It can be time consuming to create the Linking List each time we play, and as it is for your convenience, please try to help us out by remembering to leave your information so we don't have to track you down, or try to guess if you have played with us before. We have several members with the same first name... let us know who you are by leaving your complete information. :)

3. If you are playing with us for the first time... WELCOME. Please say so when you R.S.V.P. so that we can give you a proper welcome on the challenge day. Also, take a moment to read the Welcome Entry & Rules Of Play. You can find the link on the sidebar, and it will help familiarize you with how we play.

Ok, that's it. See you on Saturday, July 25th.

-Carly

NOTE: By the way... If you enjoy the Round Robin Challenges, you might also consider playing along with the individual memes Karen, Steven and myself host on our own blogs. Karen took over the Weekend Assignment reins from John Scalzi, when he left AOL in January 2007, and has hosted it ever since. Steven showcases Feline & Furball Fridays, which gives us a chance to show off our favorite pets, and I host the Monday Photo Shoot, also a John Scalzi meme, each Monday. Check 'em out! Everyone is invited to join, and you always have a full week from the time the meme is posted to post your photo!
