This past April I started using instagram. How I went this long without even knowing about it just shows how out of touch I can be. All well. I know about it now and it is sweet. I find myself taking more photos with my phone so I can play with the options.

I have also found some great tutorials that involve printing these photos to display in your home. I think that this is something the digital age has robbed a little. I hardly ever print my photos. So sad. So many great pictures just hidden away in cyber space.
I wanted to share some of my favorites so far.
A cactus heart...there has to be some kind of metaphor here...guard your heart...but not too much. I don't know. Something like that.
A picture of a picture. My grandpa and grandma.
This is from a place I walk frequently. I seem to have a lot of pictures of these trails.
One day I was being "Auntie" to this guy and his lovely sister and we were driving. I spotted this turtle on the highway. He was stuck right in the middle of the road! I stopped the car (after much quick teaching to the kids to never get out of the car on a highway) I jumped out, picked him up and we transplanted him to a quiet dirt road.
It was a fun moment in the day and I was thankful to have my phone on hand to capture it.
One thing I love is how the colors pop with the right options on Instagram.
I have been enjoying just remembering the everyday little things. I can see how blessed I am when I look back over these photos.
Oh Quincey.
I suppose I should throw one of me in here too. So serious.
I took this just the other night. I know there is quite a bit of dark areas here but I kinda like it.
Do you use instagram? What other apps are out there that are even cooler?
