Instagram: Insta-fun!

As most people with iPhones can attest, there are millions of senseless apps that you can download in just a few finger taps which provide endless fun.  As an iPhone user myself, I'm not such a fan of buying tons of apps because, let's face it, I'm cheap!  If you were to take a look at my phone, you'd find Facebook (of course), Instagram, Yelp, Golf Channel and Foodspotting.  Are you seeing a trend here?  They're all free! What's not to love!?  I use them all pretty much daily but recently I've gotten slightly obsessed with Instagram.  I've yet to figure all the ins and outs of it but it's about the coolest app ever.  Being able to take pics with your phone is one thing but being able to change said pics with cool artsy filters, is entirely something else.  I haven't quite figured out large-scale photo editing tools like Photoshop, although it is on my list to learn this year.  So Instagram being small-scale and easy to use makes me slightly more trigger-happy.

After about a week of using it, I realized they were getting posted to the Instagram universe for everyone to see so that slowed me down...a bit.  But I fear that I'm becoming one of "those" people that take random pictures of leaves or my lunch and expect people to enjoy them.  For those that are following me, I apologize for the randomness but it's just so fun!  Feel free to peruse the shots below and draw your own conclusions of my new addiction.
