Flower Power / SignsThe Round Robin Photo Challenges are two years old this month, so we thought we'd have an Anniversary Challenge: "Best of Round Robin Photo Challenges". The idea is to pick a past challenge and do it for this time.
I almost never plan these things ahead of time, so it was yesterday, or maybe this morning, that I had my first idea for this challenge - a totally insane idea. As the co-founder of the RRPC, I didn't want to pick just one of the 48 previous challenges, every one of which I did the first time around. No, I wanted to make a grand gesture. I wanted to do all of them again, all in one night!
Well, okay. I'm not quite that obsessive. I'm not going to stay up all night and post 48 photos in this entry. But on the other hand, there is quite a bit of overlap in the Challenge topics, with a number of recurring themes, and enough room for interpretation that a single photo may well be suitable for several topics. Still not quite sure what I was going to do with the results, I pushed around the Challenge topics for an hour or two, reorganizing and reformatting as I went, until I ended up with the following (only without the pictures):

Okay, I didn't cover all 48, but at almost 3 AM, I think I've given the topic pretty good coverage! Happy Anniversary, Robins!

Hi Karen, Did you and Carly ever imagine that there would be a 2 year anniversary and that you would attract people from all over. Congratulations to you both on a terrific photo challenge. I always enjoy participating and seeing everyones slant on the subject. Yours are always so interesting. Nice to see all the challenges I missed on your page Cheers kerrin
Hi Karen! And nice to meet you :) What a great collection of photos you posted! I love the different interpretations of the themes, as well as the overlaps. I particularly like the b&w photo of you, and the photo of Tuffy :)
Karen, thank you for your dedication to this site. This was a wonderful post that showcases the coolness of RRPC.
I think you pretty much covered them all. Tuffy has a cute expression. Great job on the whole entry, well worth staying up all hours...What a trooper!
Marie
I like how you grouped the various themes and challenges. Sorta unites the themes from a diverse bunch of folks. It's been fun.
Wow, that represents a lot of work. I am impressed!
Wow, you certainly did cover the listed RRPC topics beautifully! And I couldn't do anything that well-organized at 3 in the morning!
