Round Robin Challenge: Get Wet!

Hi, Robins! This next Challenge is inspired by the Arizona monsoon, which officially started two weeks ago. The topic for Saturday, July 13th, 2013 is


Get wet! It's fun! Well, maybe....

There are lots of ways to get wet, some of them more enjoyable than others. And it's not just humans that get wet. It could easily be a family pet, or even a household object. So show us someone or something getting wet. The what, when, where, why, how and who are up to you!

As always, here's a reminder of our guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files to bring us one or more pictures of someone or something getting wet.

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, July 13th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Not Real


Hi, Robins! It's time (a few hours past time, actually) to announce the new Round Robin Challenge. I hope you'll like this one. It's a real chance to stretch our imaginations, and possibly our photo editing skills. The topic for Saturday, June 29th is


Not Real

Show us something that isn't real - an optical illusion, a fictional character on stage, fake pearls, a toy sailboat, a tofu hamburger...really, anything that looks like something that it isn't. Then tell us what it really is - and what it really isn't! For example, the dragon above isn't a real dragon (of course), and the background includes an artificial cave from a mountain lion habitat, as well as part of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. The fire is an edited version of a real fire on Mount Lemmon from the 1980s. Your not-real photo need not be that elaborate, but this sure was fun to put together! So let's see what unreal things you can photograph - or make it look like you've photographed them!

As always, here's a reminder of our guidelines:

1. Grab your camera or go through your files to bring us one or more pictures of something that is not real!

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, June 29th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!

Round Robin Challenge: Wild Thing

Hi, Robins! It's me, Karen, back hosting the RRPC after a much-needed break! I want to thank Carly once again for taking over the meme these past few months, and for her creative topics to keep us inspired!

This time out, let's go with a theme that gives us some interesting possibilities, some obvious, some less so. The topic for Saturday, June 15th is

You make my heart sing!


Maybe it's a bird or a bobcat in your back yard. Maybe it's a pitcher who misses the strike zone. Maybe it's Charlie Sheen! Maybe it's the boy you're daughter is dating, or your hair when you wake up in the morning. Whatever it is, if it's wild, we want to see it!

You remember how this works, right?

1. Grab your camera or go through your files for one or more photographs of something wild!

2. RSVP in the comments below with your name and the name and URL of the place you plan to post your photo(s).

3. On the Challenge date, Saturday, Saturday, June 15th, post the results on any blog, social media site or online photo album. Don't forget to link back to here in your entry, so your readers can check out the other Robins' contributions.

4. Please visit the other Robins' entries, and comment if so moved. The list of entries will be posted at the bottom of this entry starting around midnight MST on the Challenge date, and updated through the day.

That's all there is to it! Have fun, and go be photographers!
