Two female mallards, one wild type and one with lots of white – clearly plenty of domestic duck in the mix.

Maps and vital statistics comparing Harlem and Haarlem.
A cholera bed. This is a simple camp bed with a hole cut out halfway down, and a bucket underneath.
haruhater dot bsky dot social posted: The true blackpill is that medical science has become too good. There are at least a billion people on this planet who have no business still being alive, and all of humanity would be better off if they all collectively dropped dead on the spot. Don't get me started on overpopulation in Africa.
An electric cargo bike.
Cold silken tofu with century egg, spicy sauce and cilantro. Mostly this picture shows the cilantro.
Humpty Dumpty with a cow udder, squatting over a bucket. Arrows mark him as Egg and the bucket as Nog.
A crocheted leopard eating the face of a crocheted bunny rabbit. It's all very gory.
Yr Humble Narratrix looking grim. Standard passport photo format, but I'm wearing a friggin awesome necklace of blue Delft and Etna lava beads with little gold ones in between.
Some Frisian cows on one side of a fence. On the other side are several people and some beds of summer flowers. The cows are eating all the flowers they can reach.
Various NATO leaders posing for a photo.
Screenshot from Wikipedia's article about classical orders. The important bit is that the orders have personifications: Doric is Man, Ionic is Woman, Corinthian is Maiden.

White car.
Display board for a small Heartbrand ice cream freezer. Classic, almond and pistachio Magnums, a Ben & Jerry's sandwich, Cornetto, Solero, Mars, Snickers, Volcanix, orange and cola Calippos, Twister and a rocket lolly.
A painting by Charley Toorop of a Dutch brown bar. Everyone is quietly sitting at tables, except for the sleepy fellow who has clearly had too much.
A little Dutch street, red-brick workers' terraces, with a tree. It's pedestrianised so no cars can be seen, but many bicycles. Snow has fallen and is heaped up on the bikes.
Yr Humble Narratrix on a boat dressed up for Pride. Blue terrycloth polo shirt and matching tulle skirt, rainbow lei and hairband, iridescent rainbow fan.
A little speckled brown frog in a pond.
A park scene. We are under a tall conifer, with a smaller one that I think is juniper behind it. Several ferns can be seen, and a sprinkler has created a rainbow.

Strawberry saxifrage plants in a hanging bag. The flowers look like a cloud of little pink and white butterflies.
A black cat is lying on her side on a bed. A tortie cat sits next to her, kneading her flank.
Amelia Bedelia "dresses the chicken" by making it a little outfit.
Black and white cat in a strolling carrier. She's wearing a little leopard print onesie (presumably she's had an operation) and it's adorable.
But he’s another man in many ways: Ask the cartoonist first, for he knows best. Where is the John Bull of the good old days, The swaggering bully with the clumsy jest? His meaty neck has long been laid to rest, His acres of self-confidence for sale; He passed away at Ypres and Passchendaele.
Trump shaking hands with Macron. He does not look well.
Very large Amorphophallus bud in a plastic pot.
Spayley had grasped the fact that people will do things from a sense of duty which they would never attempt as a pleasure. There are thousands of respectable middle-class men who, if you found them unexpectedly in a Turkish bath, would explain in all sincerity that a doctor had ordered them to take Turkish baths; if you told them in return that you went there because you liked it, they would stare in pained wonder at the frivolity of your motive. In the same way, whenever a massacre of Armenians is reported from Asia Minor, every one assumes that it has been carried out "under orders" from somewhere or another; no one seems to think that there are people who might like to kill their neighbours now and then.
American badgers look like they're about to drag you into a back alley and pull a shiv on you to demand money for their meth habit. European badgers look like they're about to invite you over for a cup of tea and some custard creams at their little cottage in the countryside.

Cat With A Pearl Earring fridge magnet. The earring is poking out of the bottom of her headdress, which is not where the ear is on a cat.

Some very cute little fluffy black chicks of the domestic fowl. Not crows.
A truck advertising Březňák beer. The logo consists of a bearded gentleman enjoying a foaming half-litre and a cigar. The truck driver also sports some impressive facial hair and would himself look good on a beer label.

*deep breath* So what we have here is a panoramic view of Metamorphose III. It starts as the repeated word Metamorphose, which becomes a checkerboard pattern, which becomes diamonds, which becomes flowers with bees on them, which go back through diamonds and checkerboard to become lizards, which become hexagons, which become a honeycomb with more bees, which become fish, which become birds, which become boats, which become different fish, which become horses, which become triangles, which become envelopes with wings (this frieze was originally commissioned for a post office in the Hague), which become triangles again, which become different birds, which become tumbling blocks, which become an Italian coastal town called Atrani, which becomes a chessboard set up for a game, which becomes the repeated word Metamorphose again.

Night Sky petunias. Brand new flowers which are almost all purple in the foreground, behind them some older flowers with very large white patches.
Purple petunias with irregular white spots that look like a starry night.
