One of our favourite IPhone Apps is Instagram.  Sharing {mostly} random photos in a community is fun.  Plain old fun.  I can’t tell you how many recipes, DIY ideas or flashes of brilliance have been spurred on by Instagram, we are converts as are many of you!

Dave and I are participating in two february photo challenges, which isn’t hard as we both snap away all day long.

The first is #febphotoaday followed by#febphotoskill.  I will post our daily pics here so you can follow along as we follow the daily prompts!

To follow us on Instagram look for @djack & @thebestnest x
