Round Robin Challenge: Hidden

Hi, Robins! This is one of mine, and it's a bit different. I hope you like it! The topic for Saturday, July 30th is

HIDDEN

What I'd like to see here is hiding places or things hidden, or both. Show us a secret compartment, a doormat where an extra key might be stashed, a puzzle box, a secret fort, a romantic hideaway, a locked diary, a locket, a drawer where you used to hide the candy until your husband or kids found it...well, you get the idea! Don't actually compromise your own security, though. For example, don't show us a doormat and then continue to hide your spare house key beneath it! A former hiding place is probably better than one currently in use.

You know how this works, right?

1. RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I'm ready to show what was hidden! 

Harriet

It helps me a lot if you list your name, blog name and URL as above. Thanks!

2. WAIT for the Challenge date, Saturday, July 30th, to post your entry. Otherwise, your entry is likely to be buried by the time others come looking for it. Yes, you can be a day or two late, but if you are you'll probably have fewer people visiting your entry. No, I'm not worried if you post a few hours early, or in a time zone where it gets to be Saturday sooner than in Arizona where I am.

3. LINK to this blog in your entry, or even this specific post. That way, people can find the other entries, and info on how to join in the fun. If you want to also list the other Robins' entries, that will be especially awesome, I will be posting the Linking List in this entry at about midnight MST as the Challenge begins.

4. VISIT the other Robins and, if so moved, leave a comment. We all like to be appreciated, don't we?

That's it! Go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Something Old, Something New

Oops! Sorry, Robins! My mental schedule was thrown off by the holiday weekend.

The new Round Robin Photo Challenge was suggested by Ruth, the ScrabbleQueen, last August. The Challenge for Saturday, July 16th is

Something old, Something new

Ruth didn't specify any guidelines, but what I'd like to see is old and new versions of the same basic thing. Old and new shoes, furniture, cars, books, or anything else you can think of will do the trick. Adding something borrowed and something blue is totally optional!

You know how this works, right?

1. PLEASE RSVP in the comments below so we know you'll be participating, with your name or screen name, blog name, and blog URL, thus:

Amy
Life Beyond Leadworth
http://raggedydoctor.blogspot.com

2. WAIT until Saturday, July 14th to post your entry. A few hours early won't matter, time zones don't matter, but if you post a week early your entry is likely to be buried in your blog by the time we come looking for it! Similarly, if you're a day or two late I will still add you to the Linking List, but you're more likely to get visitors to your blog if you post on the day specified.

3. LINK back to this blog (the whole blog or this entry) from your Challenge entry, so people know how to find the other entries or participate themselves. Linking to the other Robins' blogs is encouraged but not required.

4. EXPLORE what the other Robins come up with, and leave a comment if so moved. That helps to keep us all motivated.

Got it? Good! Go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Big

Hi, Robins! Our next topic is a simple idea. For Saturday, June 18th, show us something



BIG.

Size is relative, so you've got a large amount of leeway on this!  Maybe it's something larger than life, like a fifty food statue of a small bird. Maybe it's an extra large example of whatever it is: the biggest cat you've ever seen, a pumpkin big enough for Cinderella to ride in, or a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Whatever you chose to photograph, the Challenge will be to impress the view with how BIG it looks in the picture!

You know the drill:

1. RSVP in the comments below, thus:

I've got big ideas for this!

3. Post your photos on Saturday, June 18th. If you're a day or two late, that's okay, but please don't post early, and please don't forget to post at all!

4. Include a link back here so people can see all the different entries.

5. It's always nice if you take the time to comment on the different entries.

That's it! Have fun, and we'll see you soon!

Round Robin Challenge: In the Park

Hi, Robins! I had an idea for a Challenge today, so let's just go with that. The topic for Saturday, June 4th is

In the Park

Photograph a scene in a park, preferably with people enjoying the place. Your venue can be the little park down the street, a big city park, Yellowstone Park or anything in between. A public garden or plaza also counts, an amusement or theme park, a zoological park, or even a car park! Just remember the usual guidelines:

1. DO RSVP in the comments below, preferably before the Challenge date, Thus:

I'll post pretty pixelated pictures of my Park!

2. DO not post before the date, but you can post it a day or two late if necessary. On the date is best!

3. DO link back here, so people can check out the other entries as well!

That's it! Go be photographers, and we'll check out your work on Saturday, June 4th!

Round Robin Challenge: Graffiti

Hi, Robins! The next Challenge was suggested back in 2009 by Gattina of Keyhole Pictures. The topic for Saturday, May 21st is

Graffiti is generally illegal, and it can be a terrible eyesore, ruining the look of buildings, vehicles and street signs. But some of it is rather attractive, and sometimes it's even profound. (Ask Carly about that one.) So for our next Challenge, photograph some bit of graffiti where you are: beautiful or ugly, profane or inspiring. You know how this works, right?

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

I wall be there!

Michaelangelo
Painting on the Ceiling
http://notaninjaturtle.blogspot.com

2. DO NOT post BEFORE the Challenge date. If you need to set it up beforehand, most blogging platforms will let you schedule an entry to post on a certain date and time. But yes, you may post up to 6 days AFTER the date if you forget or something comes up that delays your entry. That said, you will get more visitors to your entry if you post on the Challenge date. I, for one, have a bad habit of forgetting to look again once the weekend's over.

3. DO mention the Round Robin and link back to this blog. (If there's no link or mention, how is that a Round Robin entry?) Including a linking list to the other entries is encouraged but not mandatory. Also, it's helpful to stop by here and leave another comment with your specific link once your entry is posted.

That's it - well, the short version, anyway! If you need further guidelines, please check out our Welcome and Rules of Play entry, or drop me an email at mavarin2 (at) gmail.com. Now, go be photographers! I look forward to seeing everyone's entries on Saturday, May 21st!

In the meantime, don't forget this other meme:

Round Robin Challenge: Big Wheels, Little Wheels

Hi, Robins! Our next Challenge was suggested by our friend Carly back in 2008. The topic for Saturday, May 7th is

Big Wheels, Little Wheels

Carly wrote:

Take a photo of a wheel. A big wheel like on a truck, or a little wheel as on a child's toy. It can also me a wheel of cheese. An antique sewing machine wheel, or even a whirlytwirly.

This should be wheely, wheely fun! (Sorry.)

The usual guidelines apply:

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