The aye-aye is one of Madagascar's most endangered animal species.
Long persecuted in its native Madagascar as an omen of death and evil, the aye-aye, like most of its lemur relatives, faces imminent extinction because of the added pressure of deforestation.
The aye-aye prefers dense, tropical and coastal rainforest where there is plenty of cover but they are also known to inhabit secondary forest, bamboo thickets, mangroves and even coconut groves along the eastern coast of Madagascar.
This elusive species is the largest nocturnal primate and is the island’s answer to the woodpecker, as its specially adapted, flexible and skeletal third finger is used to find nutritious grubs and winkle them out from their woody burrows, in much the same way as a woodpecker’s beak.
The aye-aye is a primate that is most closely related to Lemurs but is one of the most unique animals on the planet due the fact that it possesses a number of very distinct adaptations. Their body and long tail are covered in coarse, shaggy black or dark brown fur with a layer of white guard hairs that helps them to blend into the surrounding forest in the dark. The aye-aye has very large eyes on its pointed face, a pink nose and rodent-like teeth with incisors that grow continuously to ensure that they never become blunt. Their large rounded ears are incredibly sensitive giving the aye-aye excellent hearing when listening for grubs beneath the tree bark and are able to be rotated independently. The aye-aye has long and bony fingers with sharp pointed claws on the ends to help when dangling from branches, but it is the middle fingers on their front feet which are their most distinctive feature. Much longer than the others, these fingers are opposable with a double-jointed tip and a hooked claw on the end and are used for both detecting grubs in dead wood and then extracting them.
The aye-aye is a nocturnal and arboreal animal meaning that it spends most of its life high in the trees. Although they are known to come down to the ground on occasion, aye-ayes sleep, eat, travel and mate in the trees and are most commonly found close to the canopy where there is plenty of cover from the dense foliage. During the day aye- ayes sleep in spherical nests in the forks of tree branches that are constructed out of leaves, branches and vines before emerging after dark to begin their hunt for food. The aye-aye is a solitary animal that marks its large home range with scent with the smaller territory of a female often overlapping those of at least a couple of males. Male aye-ayes tend to share their territories with other males and are even known to share the same nests (although not at the same time), and can seemingly tolerate each other until they hear the call of a female that is looking for a mate.
After a gestation period that lasts for about five months, a single infant is born and spends its first two months in the safety of the nest, not being weaned until it is at least 7 months old. Young aye-ayes will remain with their mother until they are two years old and leave to establish a territory of their own. A female aye-aye is thought to be able to start reproducing when she is between 3 and 3.5 years old where males seems to be able to do so at least 6 months earlier.
The aye-aye is an omnivorous animal that feeds on both other animals and plant matter, moving about high up in the trees and under the cover of night. Males are known to cover distances of up to 4km a night in their search for food, feeding on a variety of fruits, seeds, insects and nectar. They are however specially adapted to hunt in a very unique way as they use their elongated middle finger to tap dead wood in search of the hollow tunnels created by wood-boring grubs, listening for even the slightest sound with their sensitive bat-like ears. Once the aye-aye has detected its prey it uses its sharp front teeth to gnaw a hole into the wood before inserting the long middle finger, hooking the grub with its claw and extracting it (filling the same ecological niche as a Woodpecker). The aye-aye is also known to use this long digit to eat eggs and coconut flesh and is thought to be the only primate to use echolocation when searching for food.

It is from Whole Foods bakery, it is organic, baked daily, it is $4.99... expensive but I think off it as many meals. Just two slices, w various toppings make a great meal...
During covid-19 restrictions, Whole Foods has been a great resource. They have free delivery for orders $35 and over. Their delivery is right on w very fresh food, packed well, and delivered right on time. They suggest a tip, which I am happy to pay, as I am grateful that someone shops for me and delivers, and also this creates a job for someone who has a need during this difficult period. Often the delivery people are new immigrants and they are very grateful to have a means of earning money w flexible hours. They drop off the packages by the front door, and text that it is delivered. I tried ordering from Safeway as well at the start but they botched up orders, they took orders and later cancelled them, they delivered open bags at the thick of the virus, whereas Whole Foods delivers bags sealed. I will try ordering from Safeway again though, maybe they worked out their problems. Many other stores have pick ups but no deliveries.. I have watched video blogs of new immigrants on youtube who love these delivery jobs, Amazon pays them hourly, from the time they arrive to get their deliveries, even if they get no deliveries and wait... on top of that they get the tips when they deliver, that is good money for them, and they are very excited to have the opportunity... they are often uber and lyft drivers too.
please see large :)

The chicks and the adult came out into the morning sunlight and then shared a nutritious drink. The chicks don't seem as aggressive towards each other as some other species of birds.
Some nice berries that will be used in the kitchen later tomorrow... my birthday. Lemon juice along with refined sugar added for a preservative.

The flowers appear in groups (hands) along the stem and are covered by purplish bracts which roll back and shed as the fruit stem develops. The first hands to appear contain female flowers which will develop into bananas (usually seedless in edible types). The number of hands of female flowers varies from a few to more than 10, after which numerous hands of sterile flowers appear and shed in succession, followed by numerous hands of male flowers which also shed. Generally, a bract rolls up and sheds to expose a new hand of flowers almost daily.

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad" Miles Kington
I know I know this isn't what you usually get from me but I felt compelled to share this fresh,nutritious colorful fresh salad with you.
I'm a true believer that food should look as wonderful as it tastes,presentation is important as well as flavor! This can be a meal in itself here at our home in the hot summer months...
This is all garden fresh other than the cheese and bacon sprinkled on top.
Ingredients are 'fresh Romaine ,organic veggies- if at all possible straight from the garden if possible! You can of course change the ingredients to suit your tastes.
1 large Vidalia onion ( we are soooo blessed here in the South
to have these incredible" sweet "onions at our disposal in the summer months and believe me if you EVER have one you will never go back to anything else and like it!)
LOL....
1 package of Romaine Salad those with 3 hearts are perfect if your don't have fresh available
1 large Red bell peppers(chopped) ,
1-16 oz package frozen "Baby" sweet peas (so sweet and tender.)
Put these into a strainer run cold water over them to thaw and remove ice,do not cook!
6 boiled eggs chopped fine
6 to 8 oz of grated cheese (I use Colby and Jack) or what ever suits your fancy..
1 package of maple flavored or brown sugar- bacon,
fried strained and crumbled.
Now the best part is the home made dressing....
" Homemade Dressing"
1- 16 oz tub of Greek yogurt( I use Okinos organic and love the extra thick texture along with NO artificial ingredients!)
I remove one half of a cup .4 oz of the yogurt and add homemade mayonnaise.( the original recipe called for two cups of mayo (YUCK! ).tooo many BAD OILS. ....
Finely Chop up 1 tablespoon chives and 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.add salt to taste and pepper also 1 teaspoon honey to balance flavors.Mix this all well together with your yogurt and mayo,set aside,
Now if you have a large glass bowl this will be wonderfully displayed !
Start with chopped Romaine on the bottom layer,at least 1 inch thick.
next the wonderful chopped onions,
next your chopped peppers,
next another layer of salad
then your chopped eggs,
next your strained sweet peas(uncooked).
Now you pour your dressing over the peas making sure the layers are presented all the way to the very edge, this helps keep your dressing from sinking all the way down the bowl.then your finely shredded cheese ,last your bacon crumbles and just for presentation,I saved the stem from the pepper to put into the middle as the finial ...lol
complete salad...
When you get ready to serve and your guests are through ohhhing and awhing mix all ingredients together and serve... I promise there wont be anything left !!!
ENJOY!
Explored twice in two days!

I was so surprised to see these giant tamarind pods at the Superstore in Penticton. I usually have to travel all the way to Oliver to just buy tamarind paste for pad thai. The fruit inside the pods was incredibly sweet and delicious, only $2.98....and all the way from Thailand....amazing!

I always like to try one thing in the garden, or more, that I've never planted before. This was one of my newbies, and they're suppose to quite nutritious. Sorry I've not been around. Have not been feeling well. Had an MRI yesterday and still waiting results. Sam's son and family has been in town....Sam is taking them to Glacier Park Monday.....I'm not going...not up to it! waaaa :(
Nutritious, apparently.

This photo and some of my other food pictures aren't really about food. What they are is an exercise in hand-held stack focus. I know of no other way to get reasonably well focused close-ups in less than ideal lighting conditions while using fairly wide apertures (f/4 in this shot). Yesterday's shot of the chili omelet had a lot of bokeh so it's clear I didn't use this technique in that one.
I've found that it's best to focus on the nearest edge of the subject, then make incremental manual focus adjustments & exposures while keeping the subject centered in the viewfinder.
