How sweet that he still likes to give kisses (does a monkey "kiss" similarly to a human?) but a shame that its harder to interact....


LOL, that's cute!

Monkey kisses is more like lip smacking

I don't want my body parts anywhere close to their mouths. The ex-husband of the woman who owns the sanctuary was bitten by one of the Capuchin monkeys there and the resulting infection put him in the hospital.

YEEPS! That's not good....

*giggles* I hope to see it in person some day!

Jon, how's your processing coming? Did you shoot Theater Equus as well, or just watch? I'm nowhere near thru my shots, but I've culled quite a few bad ones. I'm having trouble finding the ones I'm looking for of the 2nd game that could use Bobert's spleen. Plus, I'm guessing more of your shots are clear than mine. (thus the love/hate relationship with the 70-300)

Diane, If you make it out this way, I could arrange a tour for you at the Sanctuary if you would like. The website is a little out of date, but it is www.mostlymonkeys.org if you want to check it out.

Awww....like the Russell Sprout shot

Time for me to head to bed. I've been pre-TMSing/researching tripods and heads to order with the Domke inserts. I'm cross eyed now. Night.

G'night Bobert!

I am out too, folk. G'night!

Night Terri and Robert. I think I am going to follow you out of the lounge.

Have a good week everyone

I'd love to! I'm reading the website....such sad stories for some of the critters. How in the world do they exercise the mountain lion? Gosh....so many things I didn't realize I didn't know anything about, lol!

And goodnight to all the sleepyheads. I'm headed there shortly myself.

Accidentally zonked on the couch for a few hours, woke up and could not go back to sleep in my bed. Too many thoughts twirling through my wee brain.

Here is a slightly different view of Russell and I.

Awwww.....so cute. (Russel too )

Diane, He is a Spider Monkey from South America. Russell was confiscated by Animal Control (primates are illegal in Ca in private homes) when his owner was arrested under an outstanding warrant. The Sanctuary is licensed with Animal Control as a holding facility when primates are involved in a case and when the owner went to pick him up, she noticed a baby bottle in the bottom of his cage and opened it - the bottle contained milk with alcohol mixed in (we assume to keep him quiet, as young monkeys can be rather noisy). When the case was settled in court, the sanctuary was awarded custody of Russell. Since he was under a year old, I and some of the other volunteers were allowed to go in his cage and play with him. When I would go in, all he wanted to do was cuddle as you can see. The only problem was what I would look like when I came out, as he was not wearing a diaper.

Grrrrrr...I just hate hearing of stories like this. I am glad he was taken in and cared for by good people.

it all started when I was trying to figure out what size my manual focus lenses were (because I need filters)...then I thought...hey I'll line them up and macro them...then Dan put two bigger lenses on the tabe for intimidation purposes...then I brought out my big guns then he brought out his and then I brought out my cameras and then he brought out his and then I brought out my flashes and then he brought out his lensbaby...and the battle ensued. The lensbaby was the first to go down.

Beautiful. I wanna be there.

Should we swap locations?

Wow....very nice. Where is that at?

It's on the Zugerberg, the local "mountain" (just 30min from home by public transportation)

Tiff, beautiful (though unprofessionnal) baby shots!

For a few years, I would love to do that.

+1 on that. One of the things that makes Paris a very different city from London is it's wide boulevards and avenues. Interestingly the reason that they were planned that way was to allow the army free movement around the city so they could get at the populous as they were always revolting
