At a recent lunch with a few of my favorite blogging buddies we were discussing how lately Instagram seems to be taking over from blogs. While I look forward to my daily blog reading immensely, I also really enjoy spending time on Instagram. Sometimes at the end of a long day, in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep or even while standing in line at the grocery store, it is like taking a mini vacation to scroll through one beautiful picture after another.
My own presence on Instagram has been somewhat limited as I have felt an obligation to only share my own photos, usually from my travels. Even as a travel advisor and blogger, the vast majority of my time is spent NOT traveling, which doesn’t give me a lot of opportunity for sharing spectacular photos and maintaining a regular presence on Instagram. I have noticed more of a trend towards sharing photos taken by others (with appropriate credit given, of course). As such, I hope to start sharing one or two photos daily from other instagrammers which inspire me.
Here are a few Instagram feeds that are new to me and may be new to you…I hope they help you escape for a few minutes during your busy days (or sleepless nights)…

All new to me, thank you Sandy! Love IG…window to the world! 😉
Hello there dearest Sandy, from CARMEL!!!! And I am loving Instagram too! I am trying to take as many photos as i can, but we have been on the move so much that I haven't had time to process them. I take my photos with my camera, not my phone.
I will see you on IG later! Anita
Hello Sandy! I am a huge fan of instagram, but I like and enjoy it for other reasons than I do blogs. I love the instant adventures of instagram, they are like a short story and blogs are like reading novels.
I love following you on instagram! Thanks for the intro to these new to me people.
Being a bit new to Instagram, I love getting recommendations! Thanks, Sandy!
