In My Neighborhood Tuesday March 22: In Bloom

.




I'm joining my friend Jennifer over at Eighty MPH Mom called In My Neighborhood Tuesday – a fun photo meme where you spend some quality time with your family and friends and discover average things in a new light, get creative and try and get outdoors on occasion. 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 theme is "In Bloom" and I was lucky enough to get some wonderful photos at the Disney Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT during the Social Media Moms conference over the weekend. Hope you enjoy them, I have a lot more that I'll be showing in future posts.
 
 

 
 
So that's my post for In My Neighborhood Tuesday... if you'd like to join, here is all you have to do: 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.



Let's also help Jen out by tweeting about this meme:

365 Project - January 7th: A Touch of Spring?

On our walk with the dogs this morning, we found some new flowers that had been planted by the town workers to try and replace some of the plants that died during the recent cold snap we had. I thought these looked so pretty and reminded me that Spring is right around the corner.... I HOPE!!

Ruby Tuesday: Signs of Spring

Welcome to Ruby Tuesday.....

While walking Nano around the neighborhood the other day, we saw these signs of spring and I just had to take some pictures. I don't know what they are called, so if anyone knows what they are, let me know. I just loved the color and the feather-like look of the "leaves." Hope you enjoy the photos:

Don't forget to link up your Ruby Tuesday post to Work of the Poet and visit the other participants. Have a great week.

Mellow Yellow Monday - Sept. 21, 2009

Drowsey Monkey over at Mellow Yellow Monkey began this meme in her words:

"I chose yellow for this photo meme because it's my favourite colour and I think the world is always better with a splash of yellow ... whether it's in your home or in nature. "





This is my contribution from around the neighborhood on one of our walks with Nano:
