Walking in the jungle everyday is always enjoyable, and it always has its little surprises. So far it has been a good year for wildlife. We hear monkeys in the trees all the time, and most days we even catch a glimpse of them. But the other day David and I were walking together and several spider monkeys stopped right over head and began shaking the trees at us. I grabbed a nearby vine and David grabbed a sapling and we shook right back. We had a conversation (or argument) like this for about 5 minutes. Now usually when one tries to photograph monkeys in trees they just come out looking like a black blur amongst the leaves, a black shadow cast by the bright sun behind and above them. These monkeys, playing with me and David, were pretty close, and they stuck around long enough for us to get a pretty good picture.
