Night Owls of the Amazons - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

It’s early in the morning, we pulled into the thick canopy of the Amazonia. Spotting wildlife is never an easy task here in the Amazons.

It must be our lucky day. The big eyes catching the light filtering through the tree branches were giving it away.

As we held our breath and tried to adjust our vision to limited light, we met the curious eyes and the smiley faces (I think) of a family high up in the tree trunk.

Oh, hello! So nice of you to come say hi after a whole night of fruit-picking and leaf-eating. We are content from meeting the only nocturnal monkeys in the world, owl monkeys. You’ve made our day and you can go back to sleep now.

Recent news about the
Amazon rainforest fires makes me think of you.

Como has estado?

I hope you are doing well, big-eyes!

Love, in All Its Glorious Ways - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Some say it's the month of love.  Then, let's talk about love.

While in Japan, I witnessed the only known primates that take a bath in the comfort of hot spring water.  These close relatives of us human reminded me how one's love can seem so different to an observer.  And yet, just like the world is not all pink, I guess love exists and is exhibited in such diversified forms.

I'm not sure if the fact that Jigokudani, translated literally into English as "Valley of Hell", has anything to do with some unconventional behaviors that happen here, I sure hope that when it's out of line, one knows when to cry for help.
