Description

I captured these Vervet Monkeys a couple of years ago in the Kruger National Park here in South Africa! (Still on film, hence the graininess!!) I have posted an image of the due soon after joining RR where the little guy is actually nursing! As I was going through my old images I thought this one might also be worthy of a place in the galleries! Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for popping in for a visit and for your very valued comments and favs on my 'Strings of Gold' upload of yesterday!!! Each one of you is special to me!!! Take care! Hugs, Carin xx

A family portrait unparalleled in the history of the genre, Carin, plus a splendid often overlooked frame to encompass it! The pair were most gracious in letting you photograph them. This is really stellar considering it was originally a film shot. My film to digital conversions mostly come out blurry and full of noise.

I am falling behind again:-( Great portrait of this lovely family! I watched a special on Namibia this past weekend and a segment today on the lady there that takes care of the cheetahs (I didn't realize they are endangered and by farmers no less!), I love that chirping sound they make and I was so jealous that she gets to love on them!!! (((Carin)))

Outstanding capture. I am jealous, that you don’t have to go to a zoo, to get great photos like the ones you post. Very well done Carin. Dana

I always thought that Vervet monkeys would make intriguing aliens. I love their facial expressions, especially the juvenile ones. They're always so inquisitive! Great details on this, and fantastic color. THIS is most definitely a favorite.
