I am a newcomer to this site, so please bear with me.

From today's (Sol 460) rear Hazcam views, it appears that Spirit has driven onto strata which looks remarkably like the "blueberry"-strewen Meridiani plain!!!

This is confirmed by the 4 Pancam views, which also seem to show the blueberries, as well as the same finely-layered, blueberry-filled rock found everywhere on Meridiani.

There's a lot more that could be said about the implications of this, if true, but I would first like to know if anyone else has the same reaction to these photos as myself.
