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.

The desert photos are beautiful. No wonder people liked it. :)
Aw, thanks, Vinitha!
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? :)
Great idea! I was also thinking of doing a monthly MM post with my favorite (or most representative) photo of each month this year.
Also, thank you. :)
I’m all about the desserts! I went to Palm Springs once, which I quite liked, sparse but peaceful looking in that mostly uncluttered way.
I do think the desert has its own beauty. It’s just not so exotic to me, since I grew up around it. 🌵
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.
Thanks! That’s definitely true.
What can I say, desert scenery is beautiful. It’s one of my instagram weaknesses, I could like desert scenery all day.
It is beautiful! And there’s nothing wrong with liking it. I just hadn’t noticed the pattern before.
