For the summer of twenty-twelve, I’m setting just one goal. And it’s a fun one.

I got off to a slow start when I joined Instagram (a photo sharing app for the iPhone and now Android too) a few days before Christmas last year. During the first five months, I posted just 58 photos. Then I decided to kick it up a notch, and over the past week and a half, I’ve shared 19 photos. Maybe it’s just a phase, or maybe I’ve finally hit my Instagram stride. Either way, I’m having fun.

Are you on Instagram? I’m @rachelswartley. Come say hello!
