Although the group saw several monkeys, they kept their distance and were hard to photo even with the moderate length telephoto I was using. The first shot shows a small money in the middle of the patch of trees, then monkeys jumping from tree to tree. A much easier subject to photograph was the Praying Mantis. Also, while we traveled in the canoes the guides would grab different pods of edible fuits etc. for us to sample.
