I bet being a little cat chasing fireflies in a bush is up there too
A tuxedo cat in a purple harness is exploring a bush. The bush is full of fireflies but it's still daylight when the photo was taken so they aren't very visible and you're gonna have to trust me that they're there.

An older white man, perhaps in his 60s, balding with gray hair and a short grey beard, wearing glasses, a blue button-down, dark slacks, and suspenders, standing against a background of rocks and trees, holding an opossum in his arms.

Gone but not forgotten, 5ever in our hearts
The now-removed statue of Confederate general turned Ku Klux Klan founder Nathan Bedford Forrest that once stood in Nashville, sculpted out of old bathtubs and painted in gaudy plasticized silver and gold by Jack Kershaw, a racist lawyer who briefly represented Martin Luther King's murderer James Earl Ray. Forrest is on the back of a horse, although his posture makes no sense; it is not possible to mount a horse in the pose Forrest is in, especially since the horse has no tack. Forrest's eyes are wide and crazed, and he's making a maniacal grin and waving a pistol around. It cannot be overemphasized that this was intended as a sincere tribute to a racist murderer by a vile racist a century later, and the fact that it makes him look like a terrifying madman is not intentional.

Two coyotes in the woods. One is looking directly into the camera with an expression that actually does kind of look reminiscent of Jim from The Office.

Three African cape buffalo. Two are in the foreground eating grass, one being so close to the camera it is very blurred. The third faces the camera, chewing cud, with its eyes glowing bright orange, as if they're laser eyes. Hopefully it's just a reflection of the camera light; cape buffalo are already very dangerous animals, and if they evolve laser eyes it could be over for humanity.

It took 6 weeks before they were comfortable in the same rooms unsupervised, but here they are a month later cuddled up together, they play constantly and live their best lives. I'd never had more than one cat and was really nervous if I was doing the right thing but it worked out beautifully.

A four panel comic by Foxes In Love (@foxes-in-love.bsky.social). The characters are a green fox and a blue fox, depicted in a simple and stylized fashion; these foxes are a gay couple, and the comic regularly depicts them in various, usually humorous, aspects of their lives.

In the first panel, Green says "Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the oantry, learn Esperanto-"

In the second panel, Blue says "That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?"

In the third panel, a close-up of Green is depicted in a photorealistic style, with a level of detail never seen in the comic. He says, "Of course."

In the last panel, Blue asks, "How long did it take you to draw that gag?" Green replies, "A lot longer than I am willing to admit."

A blurry extreme closeup of a cat's muzzle pressed against the trail camera. The cat is gray and white with dark stripes and a terra cotta nose. The extreme closeup makes it hard to say whether this is a domestic tabby cat with white spotting, or a bobcat, but either way it's a cute little nose.
