Description
Hello All!
This chimp family cooling down in the misty spray under the waterfall caught my eye ... it was real hot out so they had the mist'ers going full blast up under the falls. This family left the grasssy area and climbed up to cool off - I couldn't stop watching them there in the mist it fascinated me!!!
I waited a long time there to try and capture interesting expressions. The larger chimp to the left was proudly waving around and displaying his prize - a pineapple top, that reminded me of the jungle book movie ( king Louie's crown) hehe...the one seated next to him ( 2nd left ) was clearly jealous of that pineapple top crown and wanted it but finally gave up and just watched him put on his show. The chimp on the far right was making the loudest calls and wanted to be the one that sat against the rock (attempted to move over there so he could rest his back a few times but got pushed down the rocks lol) there seemed to be a definate pecking order and rank there . The one next to him (second to the right) seemed to be really fed up with his loud mouth LOL!!....
I was so glad for the mist that cooled them down and also gave them a nice refreshing place to sit in their hot environment- it took me away to another place and time as I observed. They are so fun to watch and make me smile every time!!!
I played with this in paint shop for quite a while as it was a 10 x's zoom and so it had its issues -a tad grainy ... had to put this up larger so that you could see the details of their facial expression and interaction here. ( still 1/4 its original size). Hope you like my little family cooling down here...
This capture is for my Annie who just turned 17 yesterday and loves monkeys...
SIGH))) =Geeze I cannot believe I am a Mom of a seventeen year old !?!! ... where does the time go for heavens sake? My baby is almost an adult!!!
...guess thats why picture taking is so important life goes by to quickly and have to capture a bit of it before its gone!
I imagine someone looking at one of my pictures in a hundred years from now and seeing a piece of something from a time gone by and that is a happy thought to me!!!
Thank you for all your time and comments!!
Love to all~!!!
((( BIG HUGS )))

You think you feel old with a 17 year old? I feel ancient with a 36 year old and my baby is 31! Now that makes you feel like you came from another world. I love this shot and I tell you, I can totally "feel" the second from the right!

Very nice work and image, well done..

Wonderful postwork Kim, they certainly do have a pecking order as in most animal groups like this, and if not quick to learn your place a unwelcome smack round the head soon knocks it into them. Lol. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!! When your oldest is 40 and the youngest 21, thats when you start to feel old Lol.

Great capture and some amazing postwork. Great how they all have a totally different expression. my eldest is 28 next month, sometimes I feel ancient and other times I feel like a big teenager.

This is feally a fantastic shot! The almost surreal scene (could be humans in a sauna LOL) is totally striking! Love it! The cliffs at the bottom also caught my eyes. Could be a beauty in itself.
