People Like Deserts and Dessert

According to the Nine app, these were my best 9 Instagram photos last year.

I don’t know why, but I was a little surprised by the results. While I like these photos and they bring up good memories, it doesn’t feel like they sum up the year or represent the range of things I posted. It’s pretty heavy on the desert scenery.

Of course, the app doesn’t – can’t – measure those things. It just makes a collage of your photos that have the most likes.

What people like, apparently, are hot-climate plants. And whipped-cream-topped waffles.

Waffles

  1. Beautiful shots (especially the one off your back porch). Funny what motivates people to hit the heart on Instagram – I’ve seen similar results with the pictures I post on Facebook. Maybe for a future blog, you could pick your personal top photos, and do a side-by-side collage comparison? :)

    1. Great idea! I was also thinking of doing a monthly MM post with my favorite (or most representative) photo of each month this year.

  2. For what it’s worth, they are pretty photos. But it proves that what resonates with others is not necessarily the important moments in a person’s year.
