Happy Mother's Day # 1

I have longed to take pictures on mother Monkey that is carrying her baby for a long time. I did see them many times before but failed to snap a presentable few. Going after them thus became one of my itinerary as long as I located them. Of course, this "them" and another "them" might not be the same "them".

My dream was fulfilled this morning. The monkeys appeared in the car park were having some fruits which were served by one local villager. They stayed for quite a long period for their food while I was happily snapping enough pictures for my and your pleasure.

It is Mother's Day tomorrow, the monkeys seemed gentle and quiet. While looking at their eyes which I used to do to all the living creatures, they might look no differently from us. The lady on the right turned to the mother, the later just responded with some pondering look.

These were the same couple but sat at a different place. They continued their sharing whereby the lady seemed to be a senior to the mother who listened obediently. I could never smelled any fierceness nor uneasiness around the corner. Both of them tended to enjoy their topics well.


I saw the gentle mother then rendered her helping hand to pick and remove flea from the lady. So far, the baby monkey hugged her mother so tight without showing any sign of loosen grip.


The next picture showed the mother brought the baby along on the floor for some eating. Interested to see a little monkey came beside them for some share of the maternal love.


In the last picture, this was the monkey family where the mother cared for all her little ones with kindness and affection. This was the sensation of being a mother.

Yes, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers.

I do not know how you all think about the post when come across the title in your blog list.

"Is it related to Nature?"

There is no pre-planned. The pictures just came in handy for the day.

Mike:: This was surprise to me as the pictures came so easy. No hassle.

WiseAcre:: Sorry to disclose your family album to the public without your approval.

Icy BC:: Say Cheese!!! but nobody listen.

The Retired One:: Will take you there immediately after you have landed.
Monkeys are waiting for you.

The mothering instinct is strong in all mothers. These pictures are good examples of that.

Don't you just love it when the animals pose for pictures so easily? I like watching the way wild animals take care of their babies. They all seem so intelligent then. I'll say again that I really like seeing monkeys.

Mother Goose:: You are speaking on behalf of yourself as well. All the pictures are dedicated to all the mothers.

In fact, mother goose is fierce to protect her kingdom.

Ratty:: You said it quite well. They are all seem so intelligent then.
