I had to prepare a blog on the topic black and so I decided to head on out to the Palm Beach Zoo to shoot images of the monkeys. All I can say is that the monkeys were not that co-operative. The big guy hardly moved and the others sat huddled at the top of their cage and ignored me. However, I got to walk around the zoo and experience what they had to offer. Perhaps the highlight was the mating dance of the Flamingo and the stunning display by the gorgeous peacock.
This monkey did not want his photo taken. Each time I picked up my camera it would turn it’s head away. This was the only photo I got with it looking directly at me.
Pelican – say what – exercise time – I’m not so sure about that!!!
Pelican – okay okay – I will stretch the wings back…
Pelican – and stretch the legs out… and then I am done for the day.

I guess it’s grooming time.
