Round Robin Challenge: Looking Up!

Hi Robins :)

NOW CLOSED!
It's time for a new challenge! How about the one suggested by Robinella, "Looking Up!" Pretty simple concept, grab your cameras, point them toward the sky, and snap, snap, snap! Birds, Bees, Trees, Airplanes, Blimps, Road Signs, Billboards, Satellite Dishes, Grain Silos, the list of possible subjects is endless. On the other hand, maybe you prefer to shoot something representational of the idea of "Looking Up!" In that case, you might photograph something that inspires a motivational mood in you. Something positive that makes you feel like things are LOOKING UP. It's up to you to interpret the meaning. Just have fun with it.

Save the date! The challenge will take place on Saturday, June 13th, 2009. As always there are a few things to keep in mind about the Round Robin Challenges...

DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE!

DO let us know if you are playing with us for the very first time so we can give you a proper welcome!

DO R.S.V.P. in the following format...

(Example)
Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

DO leave us your complete information each time you play.

DO let us know if the title or address of your blog has changed, so we can keep the sidebar updated properly.

You can post your entry any time between the midnights of the day of the challenge, or if need be, for up to one week late. Just let us know you are going to be late, so we can make a note of it on the day of the challenge. You can contact either Karen, or myself. Our email addresses are on the sidebar.

Okay, that's it. Go be photographers! We will see you on Saturday, June 13th 2009!

Round Robin Challenge: Growing

Hi, Robins! We had another great turnout yesterday, and now it's time to announce the next topic. This one was suggested last year by Jan, AKA Whammy, of The Ellis Family Cincinnati. I'll let her introduce it:

One of our daughters gave me an idea for a Round Robin...what about "Growing"? We thought we would leave it wide open. Since it was spring it could be flowers in your yard, a baby bird in a nest, grass, budding...or kids growing up.

There you have it! The Challenge for Saturday, May 30th is

Growing

NOW CLOSED!
It's spring again, for a little while longer. Flowers, baby birds, kids, kittens, etc, are all growing, right? So let's give this a shot! You may want to show evidence of growth in a single photo, such as new leaves or outgrown clothes. Or you can give us a then and now comparison of something that's grown since you first photographed it. Got it? Good!

Now, here's a quick reminder how all this works.

1. DO RSVP in the comments below, giving us your name, blog name and web address on this format:

Yes, I'm growing to play!

Clifford
A Puppy's Predicament
http://bigreddog.blogspot.com

Please do this EVERY time, because otherwise we have to research where you're posting your entry. Not only does this slow things down for us, but it causes problems when we guess wrong!

2. DO let us know in your comment if this is your first time playing, or if you're using a different blog from last time. Many people either change blogs or run more than one, and it's easy for us to get confused, especially since there may be two or more Robins with the same first name, or two blogs with the same or similar titles.

3. DO check our Welcome Entry and Rules of Play if you haven't played before, or have any questions. You can also email Carly or Karen for clarification. Our email addresses are on the sidebar.

4. DO NOT post your entry before the Challenge date, May 30th, because people won't see it if it's already a stale entry when everyone else is posting and blog-jogging. You can post it up to six days later, but it's better to post it on the right day. Most blogging software lets you schedule an entry to publish automatically on a certain date, which comes in handy if you're going to be out of town.

That's it for now! Go be photographers, find and photograph your growing things, and get ready to post and view them on Saturday, May 30th! Be there! Aloha!

Karen

Round Robin Challenge: Floating!

Hi Robins :) NOW CLOSED!

Save the date! Saturday, May 16th will be the next time we meet, ready to show off what we find for our next challenge... "Floating!" The idea was submitted by Vicki, who authors the blog, Maraca, during on of our recent challenge pool roundups. Sounds like fun... right? Birds do it. Clouds do it. Feathers off of birds do it. Lots, and lots of things will fit the criteria for the next challenge, so grab your cameras and get to it! We will see you back here in a couple weeks, but first, there are a few things to keep in mind about how we play the Round Robin Challenges...

***R.S.V.P. to play this challenge in the following format...

(Example)
Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com

***We need you to provide us with your information each time you play. It is a huge help when we compile the Linking List for each challenge.

***If you have played with us before, but you decide to use a blog different than the one you usually use, please let us know. We get new players all the time, and it can be confusing, especially when we have players with the same first name.

***If you haven't participated before, let us know so we can give you a proper welcome! :)

***PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED DAY OF THE CHALLENGE!

We don't add the Linking List until the day of the challenge, so doing the challenge early won't get you listed any sooner. As my pal Steven says, "It's not a race." :)

Ok, that's all there is to it. If you have any questions, feel free to email Karen or myself, and we will be happy to answer you. Steven is on hiatus from the challenges for a little while, so please remember to email Karen or myself for the time being. You can find our email information on the sidebar, as well as the list of past challenges. If you have a great idea for an upcoming challenge, feel free to submit it. Maybe we will pick your idea next!

See you back here on Saturday, May 16th!

-Carly
