The Golden Monkey's are usually camera shy but I was thankful to catch a glimpse of this colorful one.

A wild Green Monkey in Barbados was sat nicely for a photo. I wonder what he was thinking about? Maybe bananas.
The male monkeys of Japan aren't as cute as their kids. I didn't crop this image. I was lucky to get this close with my telephoto 100-500.
During our visit to the Hogle Zoo, many of the monkey were off exhibit but we did watch a few jumping around and enjoying the autumn sunshine.

This is a family of Rhesus Macaque monkeys living at the famous Monkey temple (Swayambhunath ), Kathmandu ,Nepal. The numerous monkeys seemed to scrounge a living from the many tourists that visited this ,once marvellous , site. This hill-top temple was an essential place to visit ,when in Kathmandu . I was enchanted by its beauty & glorious spirituality when I was first there in 1996 ,returning twice to this magical place , since then. But most unfortunately the massive earthquake in April ,this year, caused very severe damage to this ancient site. . The pictures I saw of the awful devastation were absolutely heartbreaking .

The Dusky Leaf Monkey, Spectacled Langur, or Spectacled Leaf Monkey in Burgers Zoo, Arnhem, the Netherlands. The Dusky Leaf Monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus) is found in Bangladesh, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.
The head-body length is 42 to 61 cm and the tail length 50 to 85 cm.
The monkey is are widely variable in color. Their upper parts may be any shade of brown, grey, or black, whereas the under parts, hind legs, and tail are paler. The skin on the face is dark grey, the chin and lips pinkish, and the eyes surrounded with a thick white ring.
The young are are bright yellow or orange.
The species occurs in a variety of habitats including coastal and riverine forests.
They are active in early morning and late afternoon when family groups of around 4 to 15 individuals may descend to clearings in the forest or to the river's edge to feed on young leaves and shoots. The overall, dusky leaf monkeys are quite social animals.
Eind september 2009 zijn er drie brillangoeren in het Aziatische deel, de Rimba, van Burgers Zoo in Arnhem gearriveerd. Een schenking van een Israëlische dierentuin. Er zijn welgeteld drie zoo's in Europa die deze soort hebben. Een niet alledaagse aap dus.
Om de brillangoer (Trachypithecus obscurus) uit Bangladesh, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand goed te kunnen beschrijven, zonder een foto te laten zien, moet je van goede huize komen. Daarom hierna een beschrijving uit "ZieZoo", een tweemaandelijkse uitgave van Burgers Zoo voor relaties en jaarkaarthouders.
Het zijn slanke apen met nogal een variabele kleur. Het varieert van elk soort bruin tot grijs en zwart. Hun poten en staart zijn dan weer lichter van kleur. Maar wat natuurlijk het meest opvalt is hun brilletje. Ze hebben namelijk een witte ring rond hun ogen. Daarnaast zijn hun lippen wit en/of vleeskleurig. Een opvallende verschijning dus. Zeker gezien het feit dat hun hoofdhaar eruit ziet alsof ze net uit bed zijn gekomen.
De kop-romp-lengte is 42 tot 61 centimeter en de staartlengte is 50 tot 85 cm.
De maag van de brillangoer bestaat , net als bij koeien, uit meerdere afdelingen als aanpassing aan het eten van moeilijk verteerbaar plantaardig materiaal.

Sock monkey, for, just like the lead in a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western, he has no name, hung from the window frame and stared at the drizzle gently falling on yet another dismal, damp Sunday (at the tail end of July fer chrissakes!) and resigned himself to the fact that English summer was, indeed, truly cr@p!
Well at least he had some bokeh for company...
