Just back from a long weekend in Tulum, Mexico. This was a relax-on-the-beach trip so not much photography, but I did get away one afternoon to search for spider monkeys in a nearby reserve called Punta Laguna. I saw quite a few of the spider monkeys, and also a pair of howler monkeys in just a few hours in the reserve. They can be difficult to photograph but I was able to get a few decent shots in the clear, including this young monkey swinging from tree to tree. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 260mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/400th of a second
Inclined to agree with you Mom, his face looks like a spider and with those arms and legs and tail, he really does look the part.
Glad you had a relaxing time on the beach with your wife. Great shot…Best regards, Lawrie
Beautiful capture again Sean … LOL I know all to well what you mean about relaxing with the camera somewhere in the forest, then laying on the beach :o))

I reverse my mask—-To practice these new routines- —For Cirque du Soleil. Welcome back Sean.
Nice Shot. I like the background and how the tail is wrapped around the tree vine or branch.
This shot illustrates why they are named “spider”monkeys.

Thanks Lawrie, the beach was relaxing, but for me, an afternoon spent with monkeys is even more so.

OH EM GEEā¦.CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!
I thought so Shardae. Very Curious George.
For some reason, this shot makes me think it should be in a Dr. Seuss book. It just has that feel to it.
