Is Facebook the only way to participate? As someone who doesn’t do Facebook, I’m feeling ignored.

Friends of the Blue Hills on January 17, 2019 at 7:10 am

Richard,

You can also post on Instagram and Twitter… but I have a feeling that might not work for you either!

We don’t mean to ignore you! What about your email us your photos… and would you mind us tweeting or posting some of them? That’s another way of participating!

Thanks for writing in!

Please send the list — I assume Dec. 31 means 2019, right?

Linda on January 28, 2019 at 2:54 pm

Please email me the list of 40! Eager to start!

Friends of the Blue Hills on January 29, 2019 at 1:46 am

Just by signing up, it will be emailed automatically! We can also send it to you.

Great idea to promote the reservation. I have been to just about all the locations and have pictures from most of them. Is there a restriction to using pictures from past trips or do they need to be new pictures ?

Friends of the Blue Hills on January 31, 2019 at 9:00 am

Robert,

I’m so glad you’d like to participate! We do not have any official restriction on whether it needs to be a new photo, but we really like the idea of people taking photos throughout the year for it!

We look forward to seeing your photos!
