I’ve taken my iPhone on “vacation” a few times…

and missed out on the beauty before me.

Life happens in the present. If you’re focused on your iPhone emails, Facebook, Instagram {insert any other distraction}, you miss out on the present in the present, like I did. No more!

Here’s my iPhone at the beach, uber-protected by the Otterbox Defender iPhone case. It’s the same image, same place, two different perspectives.

Which image do you prefer?
