3 Instagram Accounts I Love

As a visual person, Instagram is easily my favorite social media platform. It’s a world I like to get lost in, looking at all of the pretty pictures. One of my favorite blogs on business and blogging, The Well, has started a blog linkup series, and the task for February is to answer the question “Who are your three favorite Instagrammers and why?” That topic got me really excited so I decided to join in on the fun this month. I’ve talked on here before about how I like to creep on other people’s cute children on Instagram, and then there are the fitness accounts I look at in the morning to motivate me out of bed to workout, and there are the obvious food ones I enjoy (like The Fauxmartha, Hummingbird High, What for Breakfast, etc.). But today I’m going to share 3 accounts with you that are a little more random. (I kinda cheated there, didn’t I …)

@benjaminhole

Benjamin Hole works on a farm in England that has been in his family for a few generations. As you can see above, the land they tend to is extremely picturesque, the animals are adorable, and he captures all of it with a talented eye. I would have to say that his photos have definitely served as inspiration for my #commute pictures on Instagram, which led to my #commute series on here. I can’t decide if I love the landscapes, the cows or the dog pictures more … Either way, his images make me want to hop a plane to England, strap on some heavy boots and “work the land” at 5am. I’ll just need a good farmhouse breakfast, please.

@coffee_and_chocolate_milk

The rabbit and monkey characters in these photos were originally created for a couple’s wedding. After the wedding they continued to use the characters for fun, and decided to start using them to document the little moments in their lives. How cute is that? It’s fun to see how creative they get with making the miniature characters’ surroundings, and I also find it amusing to see everyday relationship situations played out with the little monkey and rabbit. In addition to Instagram, you can also follow along on their Facebook page and read more about the project on their web site.

@fromwhereistand

This account showcases some of the most interesting photos using the hashtag #fromwhereistand. In addition to some major shoe envy, I enjoy getting a glimpse into so many different people’s lives. What do they find interesting? Where are they standing? What are they wearing? Or eating? This feed is very well-curated and always gets a double-tap from me.
