It can’t be easy to raise a baby in the trees… I think of all the crazy stuff my brothers and I did on more-or-less flat ground, and try to imagine the heart-stopping moments that a mommy monkey has to watch all day long. I mean, even my brothers and I realized that wrestling and biting in a tree was not really a good idea.
The mommies are very attentive.
But a baby monkey is going to do what a baby monkey does… You can hear him thinking: ‘Hey, I wonder if I can climb this vine?’
You can also hear the big male monkey thinking: ‘please don’t’…
I could have hung around all day, just snapping away with the zoom lens…
You never know when the perfect picture is going to happen…
Good photography requires patience…
But you know who doesn’t have patience?
Little Olivia… my buddy… who is sweet and polite. She just gives you that: ‘are we going to go see the turtles now?’ face… and what are you gonna do?
