Neighborhood Blues

Whenever I travel, I love to take taking photos of All Things Blue. Over the past year or so, I've shared some of my favorite blue photos from Santa Fe, Seattle, and San Francisco.

But it never occurred to me to take photos of blue things in my own neighborhood. So today Won Ton and I went on a walk in search of America's favorite color, in all its resplendent shades.

I hope you enjoy the show:
