Feeling grumpy and sad. Please send pictures of flowers, cute non-human animals, or stars.
@annaleen Here you go; my dad and I feeding two of the horses on the family farm back in the 1990s, and a deer in Algonquin Park making a silly face for you.
@annaleen Well, _I_ think this little monster is cute.
They'd probably eat me if they could, but the vertical dimension of the frame is about 2cm. I am taller than that.
@annaleen
This is Max. He is bringing you an icicle, because you are cool.
@annaleen The chickadees in my bird house just hatched five baby birds.
@annaleen A month or so back, but still it's like this every spring.
@annaleen possibly extraterrestrial (1956)
@annaleen Mafdet (here) was the friendliest cat! (Died, probably aged 16-18, at the end of 2012.)
@annaleen Here’s Nero loafing on a comfy blanket:
@mithriltabby Nero, you were not as bad of an Emperor as later commentators made you out to be.
May I recommend the Astronomy Picture of the Day mirror account?

@annaleen Screenshot of the Andromeda Galaxy or M31 low in the night sky over the Taunus Mountains in Germany around midnight on May 21st, 2026 using the Sky Walk 2 app.
@Astronomy_A2Z it's such a good galaxy
@annaleen After a possible predicted merger between the Milky Way Galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy.
Andromeda Galaxy: "Was I a good galaxy?"
Universe: "No. You were the best."
@annaleen I don't know which flower varieties these are, but they're in my friends yard and helped ease my grump this morning so offering as a contribution to your collection
@annaleen We have some brand new fuzzy cows near us. You would be surprised at just how loud they can moo already!
@jamesthomson that is some serious fur ... I love them
@annaleen the spikes didn't protect the flower from the snow, but it is still here and alive…
@annaleen Oh no!! Please enjoy this photo of my senior pup under some trees in our backyard post-zoomies. She’s 14 now and it gives me endless joy that she still zoomies despite the arthritis and fused disks. The backdrop is not quite flowers, but it’s still plants 😆 Hope you feel better soon!
@annaleen please enjoy coziness
@annaleen a very unexpected broad bean plant at the edge of a shopping centre car park. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
@annaleen at least two out of three.
Depending on who you ask, Darla might also be a star
@bengerman definitely a star
@annaleen cool ones from my neighborhood a couple months ago
@TuffyPuff I love all two-tone flowers
@annaleen This is not my devil kitten.
@annaleen Pippa says hi!
(Loved Automatic Noodle, by the way. I did, that is. Not Pippa.)
@bodhipaksa hi Pippa! sending pats
@annaleen the stars are dim but the sky…
@annaleen I wasn't sure what you might like, so I decided to go with options from some of my immediate animal friends. Hope this helps and is not at all weird or anything.
@sentientsponge all of these creatures are absolute icons
