I took it with my laptop webcam.  I had Instagram open and Auggie was snuggling with me and he looked directly at the screen\/camera &#8230; I HOPED &#8211; so I clicked and caught us.  There is a lot of &#8220;noise&#8221; but I kind of liked that and thought it made the photo look a bit like a painting plus it disguised some 60-something wrinkles&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Whatever &#8211; I love it!<\/p>\n<p>What I do not love is Facebook.  I think it is the absolute worst user interface and horrible terminology.  I guess &#8220;poke&#8221; has been removed.  Still.  Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>Off the soapbox mostly.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram is owned by Facebook &#8230; I think.  I had an Instagram account for a bit and finding out the connection to Facebook, I deleted my Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Gah &#8230; but I have an iPhone and an iPad and they play so nicely with Instagram.  And my favorite blogs do Instagram.  AND, I have watched the BBC series &#8220;Shetland&#8221; and become enamored of the Shetland Islands and there are some phenomenal Shetland Island photographers!<\/p>\n<p>And so I caved once more because it allows me to do quick &#8220;posts&#8221;.  A blog post can take from 30-60-90 minutes.  Instagram &#8230; well it can be Instant!<\/p>\n<p>The photos in the Instagram feed display a bit of whatever I include in the caption.  If you click on a photo, you will go to the Instagram interface and see the entire caption.  If you view on a compatible device and the multiple image icon is displayed, you can view the several images by swiping left.  AND, if I figure out the video thing, and the video icon is displayed, you can view the video &#8211; YEA!&#8230;hopefully.  <\/p>\n<p>If you LOVE my Instagram feed, the best way to see everything is to sign up for an Instagram account and then &#8220;Follow&#8221; me.  You do not have to post if you don&#8217;t want to, but an account allows you to follow me and anyone else you might want to as well as seeing full captions, comments\/commenting, watching video and seeing multiple images.  And if I ever get to doing the &#8220;Live&#8221; and\/or &#8220;Stories&#8221; you could see those also :) &#8230; think Auggie and Bear in the woods&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I still find it incredible that many people follow hundreds and are followed by hundreds\/thousands\/millions!  It is not the followed by but the following that is astounding to me.  How can a person be interested AND have the time to follow hundreds&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p>A mystery.<\/p>\n<p>I digress.<\/p>\n<p>My primary point was to explain the Instagram feed and options to view my Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BVVYmXmhr3q\/ So, that is my FAVORITE Instagram photo to date!
