A Japanese Macaque snoozes blissfully in a geothermal hot pool in the mountains of Japan. Throughout the day these monkeys can be seen playing, grooming and relaxing in the steaming waters!

I was out shooting birds and I came across some wild monkeys!

These are the New World monkeys of the genus Saimiri. They are the only genus in the subfamily Saimirinae. The name of the genus is of Tupi origin and was also used as an English name by early researchers. The common squirrel monkey is captured for the pet trade and for medical research but is not threatened. This black-and-white face gives them the name "death's head 💀 monkey in
several Germanic languages (e.g., German Totenkopfaffen, Swedish dödskalleapor, Dutch doodshoofdaapjes) and Slovenian (smrtoglavka).

it is difficult not to attribute human emotions to photos of snow monkeys. Their behaviour and social skills were often human like - like this embrace between mum and baby.
I spent the day walking around the park with my 70-200mm and 1.4 x extender and didn't feel the need to use a longer telephoto lens as the monkeys are not shy and would often be only a few metres away. Which was probably a good thing. With the heavy snow, the track up to see the monkeys was still being cleared as we were walking up in the morning. I'd hate to think how my back would react if I was carrying 20 kilos of gear uphill.
Yay! -- made it on to the EXPLORE page... :)
