Kittens, Flickr Commons, Library of Congress

Fond this photo on Flickr (H/t John Holbo):

Here's the caption The Library of Congress supplied:

Happy 9th Birthday, Flickr Commons! (LOC)

The Commons launched exactly 9 years ago on January 16, 2008 with the Library of Congress account. We’re celebrating with a 10 candle cake for kittens– 9 lives and 1 to grow on.

Just a glimpse of the unusual pictures you’ll find in the Commons where institutions from all over the world are sharing photos.
