Welcome to the 492nd Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

I'm not much a fan of snakes, but I do love turtles and think they're adorable. They are reptiles and are bound to be related to some extent, but it's interesting to find a creature that looks like it's a mutant of snakes and turtles. I encountered this beast in a zoo and it's called the Roti island Snake-necked Turtle, which you can clearly see why because of the way it's neck is shaped

Look at those turtles! All marching in a row! Wonder where they're heading off to in a turtle line? @jznsamuel may have captured the first ever Turtle Marching Line that I've ever seen.

Just 30 minutes ago a friend of mine who never been exposed about crypto currency (and some of its schemes created by bad greedy people) told me about his friends dabbling into investments and market exchanges, and with the bearish market that has been blood shedding since last year, some companies had to close their business because they banked in too much into this crypto currency and had a major loss until he has to lay off his workers and lose his business

With the recent instability of the cryptocurrency world, people are on edge; but hey, can you blame them? @dses gives us some food for thought in this post. Make sure to stop over and read it.

Today was one of those days I wish I was one of those big YouTuber making all that big money and have a rich mom and dad or a million other things. I am tired and hurting, we had to dig a 6x6 ft hole 6 feet deep the last couple of days for a septic tank. Trying to do everything debt free is a hard road to go down with a very limited monthly paycheck.

Digging up the field and field lines for a septic tank is never fun; especially when you have to do the way @ambiguity is doing it. The old-fashion way with a shovel! No heavy equipment here!

It has been a while that there was so much snow in Munich

Brrr! It looks cold there! @jan.kretschmer shares a recent image of snow from Munich; where snow has been absent this season. I don't think people who don't like snow were complaining too much; do you?

Zao Onsen is one of the most popular onsen town and ski resort in the Yamagata Prefecture. The highlight for every visitors is the Zao Snow Monsters - ice trees covered with heavy snow, also known as Juhyo. At the height of winter, as freezing winds rushes through the Zao mountain range, thick heavy snow gets accumulated on the trees along the mountain, forming snow monsters as seen below

Are you ready for some snow and cold! Then head on over to @jrvacation's post and see these snow monsters! Even if you don't like the cold, you can still view these images from the comfort of your home.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
