In retrospect it would have made more sense to buy a tent at REI rather than wasting half the day trying to fell logs for a shelter. Man, that is hard work! I have a renewed respect for beavers. More and better from Alaska coming soon, but remember to have some fun when you're in the field. After making this picture, the couple that helped me wanted their picture taken.

The Barbary macaque population in Gibraltar is the only wild monkey population in the European continent. At present, some 300 animals occupy the area of the Upper Rock area of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve.
Monkeys have been seen jerking strands of hair back and forth between their teeth. Similar behaviour is seen using coconut fibers or twigs like this picture!

A gift for myself wide flossing bristles, due to some gum removal a few years ago I now have extra wide gaps between the teeth and the only ones I could find in store are a slim type for teeth with little gap. An online search however found just the right width so in order to start off the new year I placed the order and my teeth are on the road to better hygiene.

You don't have to floss all your teeth - only the ones you want to keep. For the #MyDailyRoutine #MacroMondays theme.

Look what I got for my birthday! :-) It's a wooden DMC floss cabinet with 465 colors of DMC mouline thread - the whole line of DMC mouline threads they claim. [insert happy dance]
The previous set of monochromes were all taken with the Tiffen Red 25 Filter. It makes them a little tricky to process, but a wider range of effects can be achieved with it.
Obviously because this photo has a full range of colour saturation it was not taken using the filter. Fairy floss, or Cotton Candy to Americans, is here dispensed in a vending machine. It can be purchased in different colours, but all have the same sweetness in the end.
When I go to the Florida Botanical Gardens, I am always drawn to this tree.
It has a striking appearance and beautiful color--there's just something about it that makes it really special...
It is covered in good sized 'prickles' which hold excess water during a drought, and the younger trees have a green trunk, which is capable of performing photosynthesis even when leaves are absent---older trees have a gray trunk.
