I was going to post my rusty anchor at Peggy's Cove, but the 2 nd entry beat me to it. now what are the odds of that happening?

Or maybe I will re-run this challenge only if I get at least 20 entries in my "Inside the Car Wash" challenge. Not many willing to do that one; more challenging than rust.

I will try to duplicate this challenge in the near future.

:-( Very disappointed that this filled up so quickly as I was looking forward to submitting the Rusty R image in my gallery as an entry.

Your challenge has filled up on the 1st day of accepting entries. Please do not increase the maximum number of entries to the challenge, as this one contains many wonderful images.
Do however run another “R is for Rust” challenge later, please. With your same additional rule about previously submitted images or any form of a previously submitted image.

Thanks ~ Kipper
