Early on the second morning of our stay at Chenjean's dad's house, we were hiking up and down the mountain roads when I spied not one, but TWO monkeys foraging for food in this sparsely-leaved tree. Quite the bonanza, as it's rare to walk up on these guys while in such open exposure. They were very intent in their task, however, and appeared not to have noticed us at first. And surprising to me was the fact that they were eating leaves, not fruit...hadn't seen that before.Of course I went crazy under full zoom and in burst mode. Even after seeing us they carried on as if we weren't there, not showing any of their usual skittishness until I moved closer. Then they both climbed higher and out to the left, making the leap across the road into the denser trees of the jungle beyond.
The next few posts are closer-up shots of these two individually as I was able to capture their movements and behavior before moving on.
