Instagram

I just discovered the app Instafocus, which is now adding to my instagram obsession. Have you heard of it? I am pretty new to the app, but in a nutshell they showcase incredible photo's found on instagram.  You won't find any of the "I'm a super cute young twenty something shooting a picture of myself with poutty lips at arms length" kind of shots over there.

Anyhoo, on to my week in iPhone shots!

The biggest news in our family is that we adopted brother and sister kitties from the animal shelter this week. They both came home with URI's so they are rather sick, but are both on the mend.  Their names are Pepe and Lulu and we are just smitten with them.

This is an HDR shot I took of the fountain outside of the Humane Society while we waited to pick up Lulu.  I enjoy taking abstract shots.

My youngest daughters BFF moved today.  On Wednesday I let her have a sleep over with all her buddies so they could squeeze in a little more together time.  We went down to the beach at sunset and took a ton of pictures.

After the beach we went to Mr. Frostie's for an ice cream treat.  You can't tell from the picture but they had all just given each other fancy designs on their toenails.

 On the way to dropping off some work we drove through a neighborhood and saw this really cool house.  Not something you see everyday in San Diego.

 My teenager daughter introduced me to the one of the funniest apps I have on my iphone.  It is called I'd Cap That.  You upload a photo to the app and it applies a caption on it, like the one above.  I have a pretty juvenille sense of humor so this app provides endless hours of laughs. Ok, I don't really spend endless hours on it.....but it does make me laugh.

TGIF and thanks for stopping by.

Instagram Fridays - Summer Daze!

I never seem to get in on trends on the ground floor. I didn't jump onto the smart phone bandwagon because I didn't see the "need" to have constant access to the internet (still don't). It wasn't until all  of my iPhone friends started sharing their cool instagram shots that I started really wanting an iPhone.

I wanted play! I wanted cool instagram photo's to share too. So when Kate needed a new phone in May, instead of upgrading her plan I gave her my key board phone and bought myself an iPhone 4S (yes, I only wanted you for your phone).

I am jumping onto the InstaFriday band wagon over at Life Rearranged and Summer Daze over at Project Alicia in order to share some of my first iPhone/instagram photo's.

This is my first instagram photo.  Well actually it is my second. The first one I took I had the tip of my finger in the shot.....how old school is that. I didn't know a lot about instagram when I first started using it but I quickly discovered how to delete photo's off my instagram stream.

 My dogs are smart little goons.  They know if I put on work out clothes that it means a potential fun walk for them.  So if I am moving about the house in my running shoes they follow me and stare at me.  It cracks me up because they totally ignore me otherwise.

 My first test of a night shot.  This was after 10 hours of being at the fair.  We had such a fun day.

 We have been eating strawberries like crazy, but I think everyone is kind of tired of them so after my last 4lb tub from Costco headed south I decided to turn them into freezer jam.  YUM!

 Took this shot at the beach the other day.  We usually have a lot of gloomy over cast days in June (we call it June gloom) but so far we have had very little gloomy days, which makes going to the beach awesome.

 This is my daughter Kate (otherwise known as Bee) with one of her Bff's that is going to be moving to another state next month.  They are all going to miss their buddy Hailey.

 The kids got out some board games to play last night.  Fortunately there were four of them so I didn't "have" to play.

Last but not least a shot of the ferris wheel from the day we went to the Fair.  I took about 400 pictures (with my DSLR) that day.  So much photography eye candy at the fair.
