Ordinary Things

I discovered Instagram recently. 


It is my new temporary obsession. If you haven't heard of it, it's an iphone/ipad (and now Android?) app that lets you take photos with fun filters. Really simple. And fun! It makes the most ordinary things look fantastic! OK. Maybe the toilet paper only looks fantastic in my mind...but you get where I'm going.
Paige and I went on an "ordinary things" scavenger hunt before church this evening and this is what we found:



(The only extra-ordinary thing of course would be the subject in the bottom right hand corner.)


Here's to ordinary things. Let's not take them for granted! Just think how life would change without phone lines. Thread. Toilet paper! Let's look around right now and be thankful for all those little ordinary things that we are blessed with. Sometimes we forget just how much we have. After all, if you are reading this blog on your computer, you are filthy rich.

Have a great (and thankful!) day!

Love,
Disney

  5. Hi Disney,
    I love Instagram too! I work as a professional real estate photographer and have thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment, but I end up using Instagram for most of my non-real estate photos. I love how they look. Over 1,000 pics on my iPhone since October!

  7. Instagram is one of my favorite obsessions too. I love all the filters and how easy it is to use. (I just wish it was less expensive/ easier to get prints!)

  12. What a fun idea! I'm not on instagram. But I want to take my girls around tomorrow, and take pictures of "every day stuff." I think they'll have a lot of fun. :)
