Round Robin Challenge: Ages

Hi, Robins! This next Challenge is inspired by the fact that I'm going to be 54 years old in less than two weeks. The Challenge for Saturday, March 12th is

Ages

Note the plural: not just one age, but a comparison, a contrast. Maybe you have photos of Cuddles as both a kitten and an elderly cat, or your daughter in preschool and at her wedding. Perhaps it's a single photo: grandparents with grandbabies, big sister and little brother, or mother and child looking alike except for the age difference. Be creative! I'd especially like to see photos that show different ages but are related to each other in some way. For example, the little girl above is Eva's great-great-granddaughter. Plus there are birthday balloons!

You know the rest:

1. DO RSVP in the comments below with your name or handle, blog name and blog URL, thus:
Don't be afraid to let them show!

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, March 12th!

In the meantime, don't forget these two other memes:

Round Robin Challenge: Door Number Three

Hi, Robins! Our next Challenge was suggested by Vicki of the blog Maraca, back in January 2009. The topic for Saturday, February 26th is:

Door Number Three

Vicki's description is as follows:

I love doors of all sorts: old ones, new ones, hidden ones, forgotten ones. How about doing a set of three, each with its own personality and story?

So that's your Challenge! Pick three doors to photograph, and show us all three in your entry. They can be three doors from the same locale or sharing some characteristic, or they can just be totally unrelated doors you happen to like. To make things extra interesting, you may want to explain what is special about these particular doors, but that's not required. (For example, all three doors in the composite above were photographed at night in the fake Wild West village Trail Dust Town.)

The usual guidelines apply:

1. DO RSVP in the comments below with your name or handle, blog name and blog URL, thus:
Don't be afraid to let them show!
