The caring family bond
Posted by Shuva Brata Deb (Bangalore, India) on 5 February 2007 in Animal & Insect.
This was shot at Monkey Point, Lonavala. It was the rainy season and at a high altitude like this the fog would just come and go preventing the tourists from seeing the scenic beauty. This scene just took my attention like hell and they will pretty friendly to me to allow me to get closer and take a couple of shots.
Another shot of these two kids playing is here.

so cute! Not so sure I'd want them very close to me - they have a bit of a reputation for fleas and lice from what I recall! And thievery!

My first reaction was "how cute" but when I looked at the parents expressions, and how they are prottecting their young, they reminded me of underpriveleged people in a queue. It is a little sad.

sweet little family - I see what Helen is saying although I dunno if these monkey's really would consider this. Life is instinctual to them and keeping the kids in the pocket is what instinct is doing right now.

Very cute. Of course it might be a good idea with these critter, but you might try a bit of fill flash to balance out the light a tad. Cheers!
