Wonderful work!

The eyes can really invoke emotion and contemplative thought to the viewer.

Here's one I shot awhile back at the Milwaukee County Zoo.

Giphsub

Wow! Great shot Ric! Especially being so close to humans, I find them just intriguing to watch. As you say, their eyes convey so much.

As promised, I went to the Nagano snow monkeys again this year. Got lots of pics. They just love sitting in the hot springs to warm up. Comments welcome. You might like to see the rest of the pics in my gallery here.

Ohhhhhh my goodness look at the fur on those guys
I gotta ask.... do they ever drown?
Falling asleep in a hot tub is not a clever thing to do even for humans.

The faces on those in Image #7 is just priceless :ivar
What a beautiful series Giphsub, and what a wonderful experience even for you .... thanks for sharing .... Skippy

Thanks Skippy! Comments appreciated. I have never heard of them drowning, but it seems likely that it probably has happened! Even to a baby in there. The pool is fairly shallow though, and they swim through the deeper sections pretty well! It was certainly a special experience for me and and my mate who went with me (Creek Boy)
