5:30AM the sky looked a bit funny but 15 minutes later I could make out why.
By 6AM it was very simple to see there was Fog as thick as pea soup.
The kind of fog that sticks to you while walking in it, we're talking real thick.
Thought about this for awhile and figured this means it's highly unlikely for any rain this morning.
..Cool, got packed and took off .. ;-)
Traveling light just in case my weather prediction goes south on me.
Cotton bag over my shoulder with the D300/35mm 1.8 lens. Hat, extra battery, cell phone, water bottle and of course all the dog food bags strapped into the front basket.
Had to remove my glasses on the ride out due to the thick fog, halfway there sun came out and glasses went back on.
As I pulled into the temple grounds there wasn't a single monkey in sight.
Lots of local people were there and music was coming from some really big speakers, busy place for so early in the morning !
Turned down the driveway to The Dog Palace and noticed out of the corner of my left eye 3 or 4 monkeys waiting in The DMZ.
Pulled up to the rusty old gate and not a single dog, no big deal.
Turned off the engine, put the kickstand down and dismounted, still no dogs.
Had just taken the helmet off when three very excited dogs came racing out of the rusty old gate and crashed into my legs.
Mama and Ding Bat immediately go to work on my toes, Mr Brown rams his huge head into my hand then into my leg once again.
Ya know, I'm starting to think they really like me ...;-)
Sorted everything out by tying the helmet into the basket so the primates can't steal it, grabbed the food bags and off we went.
Three trays are filled with fresh food and three dogs went to work filling their bellies.
3-4 maybe 5 Army guys came by while The Browns were eating, all were very polite, as was I .
The Browns didn't want anything to do with them, big zero on that !
Like I said yesterday there is 20-25 Army guys living in The Dog Palace for a few more days.
It was also very clear they all know these dogs plus the Leroy Crew are mine, be polite to them too !
Speaking of The Leroy Crew, soon I had their bag of food stuffed up under my arm and heading through The DMZ on my way to feed them.
The next photo shows Mr Brown keeping one monkey up in the tree in The DMZ, you can see his shadow.
OK, So now lets talk about this photo with a young lad , Mr Brown and Ding Bat....
For the last 3 weeks school has been out so this young monkey boy has been hanging out with Grand Ma who is a worker here at the monkey temple.
He and his brother are both my friends. Pretty cool kids, I always stop and converse with them in my limited Thai.
They always stand and giggle with wide eyes while I take a couple photos then let them see what was just documented, more giggling.
Over this time I have worked very hard to get Mama, Ding Bat and Mr Brown to come close and let the young monkey boys pet them.
Today it finally happened, Mr Brown is saying "I'll do this but you Mr Jon better stay real close"
Mama wouldn't come within 20 meters, no way but surprisingly Ding Bat did a walk by touch and go.
The second I moved Mr Brown was back at my side and Ding Bat was off flying around some where....;-)
FYI: The slingshot is for the monkeys ........
If you Fav this photo I hope you are polite and leave a comment.
If you do take the time to leave your words I thank you very much ..... ;-)
Jon&Crew, still here doing what I do.
Thank You.
