I cannot believe it is the last day in January already. I can't believe we are except 5 - 18 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow. I can't believe the weekend is here and we'll potentially be stuck in the house. So, looking through January "almost made it" shots for posting tonight, I was struck by this fellow's expression. From my afternoon at the zoo a few weeks ago. I can't remember the type of primate this is but he was absolutely beautiful, with a white tail twice the size of his body. UPDATE: Thanks to Maggiemae, I now know it's a colobus monkey, native to Africa. Thanks MM!
Thank you for sharing my fun in creating Danbo's adventures. They continue today (very gray and awful day again, so indoors is what I have to work with, and going to sleep very soon after this very long week! Have a good start to the weekend everyone!).

You are right about the expression and the exotic look of this monkey! I might try and find out more. He is actually trying to remember where he left his mobile!
@maggiemae I've now cracked up at both your comments (Danbo and the drum...seems like a great title...now to find a drum!!). I literally laughed out loud. Thanks for the views and comments!
Love him - love the image! (May have cropped out the very pale branch to the bottom of his? - hope you don't mind - find it distracting from this super capture of this character from the Animal Kingdom).
@ivan What do you think? Just cropped it out (but limited to what picmonkey could do so I wouldn't lose the comments). I agree -- that branch was annoying once you pointed it out! THanks for the advice!
@mara19500 Heehee! Yes, many of the monkey faces mirrored our own expressions! I have tons I could have posted but just liked, as @wendyhgill said, his philosophical musing expression. Thanks Mara, and Wendy!
oh thank goodness,this sweet creature puts a smile on my cranky face today..my pc's runnin' slooooow,my roomie broke our washing machine ( I think) and have nothing good to eat for dinner -:( and idk why? am I bragging u bout this things-hahaha, love the shot and fav:)Sorry 'bout ur freezin' cold weather Taffy.Stay safe and warm !
@joemuli I'm glad I could make you smile. It's just that kind of a day here -- not as bad as what you're having in yours though!! Hope things improve quickly for you!
