Hello NatureScapers:

I recall posting a Snow Monkey image a month or so ago. It was a Sunday morning and I awoke to heavy snowfall. I made a beeline to the zoo in order to try to capture the snow monkeys in snowy conditions. Here is another image from that cold but enjoyable and productive morning..A pair of monkeys hunkering down waiting for the storm to pass.

I have enjoyed hanging out here the last several months and wish all you folks a prosperous and happy 2004...

Happy New Year..

Dennis, very cool, literally. These guys look like they can hunker down and endure just about any kind of weather. Their red faces really pop out of the snow. Good job with not making this look like a zoo shot.

Happy New Year to you too!

Snow monkeys are close to the top of my list of favorite animals, and this is a sweet shot. Love the hands on this pair.

Wonderful, - as always Dennis, you have captured the inner essence as well as the external image. Your images are always a joy to study. 8) :shock:

A very Happy New Year and may your dreams be fulfilled. :)
