Photo memes,In My Neighborhood Tuesday meme

WELCOME TO “IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD TUESDAY”!
Spend some quality time with your family and friends and discover average things in a new light. Join In My Neighborhood Tuesday – a fun photo meme where you can be creative and get outdoors! There will be an assignment/prompt for each week, and hopefully you will have some time to take a walk and show us what you found in your neighborhood!
This week’s assignment :
Show us blue stuff…it can be wildlife, flowers, you name it!

We have a large amount of stellar jays (and scrub jays) who visit us daily for peanuts.  They are very persistent little things.

My husband calls them “The Mohawk Boys”

Did you know that they weigh peanuts before choosing the right one? True story!

And they are very, very loud…

It is easy to join in! Just take your picture and post it on your blog, with the button above and link up on Eighty MPH Mom. Make sure you visit the other participants to see what they have found in their neighborhood {or house or wherever} recently! Don’t worry if you didn’t have a chance to take a walk over the weekend to snap the perfect shot. If you already have a picture that fits into the “assignment” of the week, feel free to use it. If you want to write down the upcoming assignments and take photos for several of them while you are on a walk, you can do that too! There really aren’t many rules, except to stick with the theme of the week and be creative! You can even post more than one photo if you so desire.

I would be most appreciative if you could help me spread the word by tweeting, posting about it on your Facebook wall, posting on your blog, or whatever else you can think of. You can copy and paste this tweet if you’d like:

    They are so different from the bluejays in my yard. I had not seen black mohawks like that before.

      LOL they are hilarious! They sit in the trees and make this noise, until I bring them peanuts. They go and bury it and then the squirrel digs it up, and it goes on and on…so funny!

      It is still going, though I haven’t posted the last couple of weeks. I will make sure it goes up next week (the theme will be fruit). I would love to have you join in!
