I can’t get over how incredible these are, Paul. They definitely deserve to be shared with a wider audience! I’ve reposted them but I don’t use BlueSky much so I don’t really have a following here so they won’t get much reach. Regardless, these photos made me smile & chuckle on a hard day.thank you.

Oh wow Paul! These photos are incredible. So fun. Thank you so much. Orangetobertastic. Absolutely amazing. 🧡🤩

Monkey takes road safety seriously. But there's no symbol for monkeys to cross! Should he go on the orange light?

Monkey looking smart! Despite hanging out with a photographer who's taking all these photos, monkey wanted a passport photo because the seat was orange!

Monkey too small for the barber's chair. But monkey got his hair washed in the orange basin!

A monkey looking very small in a barbershop chair.

Not pictured, one bewildered barber.

Monkey having his hair done in the basin. Well not really as that's basically a bath when you're a monkey.

Carrying the monkey feels silly, so he's taken to riding on my shoulder!

I've been terrible at spotting orange things for @jennyrowbory.bsky.social 's #orangetober so figured I'd bring a friend out with me today!
