    Killing time!

    Took this shot today of some of the monkeys in City Park....started raining, but they weren't fazed... just kept on cleaning.....well two out of the three...I found it quite amusing.

    Nice shot of the 3 wise monkeys. Are these Japanese Macaques? They can be spectacularly clever.

    Thanks Cat. Yeah they looked cold but I am pretty sure they originate from areas where it snows, so they didn't really seem that worried...they kept sitting out in the rain when they could have gone under cover.

    Cheers, David...not a technically great shot but I thought the poses were too cute to dicard.

    Hi Lani
    the shot has a bit of a humourous side to it in the way they are "posing" that easily overcomes an "imperfections" you might be seeing.
    Good work

    Thanks Kevin and Graeme, glad you enjoyed them too. I find them fascinating to watch....or maybe it is just a good excuse to put off work.
