A Year in Insta-Pics

'Tis the Season... to reflect on another trip around the sun.

Social Media is essentially just a microblog, and a great way to look back on what's happened throughout the year. 

My Twitter feed is endless, and Facebook much the same - aside from Facebook randomly flashing up 'memories' from years back - but Instagram, is a great way to look back on a chronological slideshow of snapshots.
 
Here I am...

Amy's Pretty Little Insta-Feed

(Follow me and I'll follow back..)
 
I'm going to go ahead and admit that I'm not a big fan of Instagram. 

As someone who uses a PC or Laptop as my primary device (I'm a writer, I need a keyboard), it irritates me that I'm forced to faff around with a stupid phone to share things; especially when the image was taken with a 'proper camera' (yes, some of us still use those). 

I end up copying images from my camera to Dropbox or emailing it to myself and saving it to the phone and then sharing it (pain in the backside!). 

I also find Instagram generally a bit clunky to use (although I do like the filters). As a consequence, I only post a picture every few days and it's often on impulse. It means my feed genuinely is a neat visual record of what was in my brain that day.

Here's some of my favourite pics from a rather lovely year...

A year filled with coffee, beer, cake, novelty stationery, books, writing, flowers, hats, art, beaches, cats and Bristolness!
