Another image from a troop of baboons taken in early morning light in the Kruger National Park. These two youngsters were playing with each other up and down trees, and managed to capture them having a rest.

Stuart - this image is a golden delight. I wonder if the guy on the right has its arm around the other. All of the best nature magazines could meet their needs from this website alone.

Another beauty of these guys Stuart. Color, light, detail, and personality. Can baboons be considered muses?

Hi again Stuart: I'm giving it up for the night and I've declared this photo as my favorite shot of the day in the Wildlife Gallery. Thanks again.

So tender animals.

Love the expression on their faces and the gorgeous light. Would love to see the whole body and less room on top.

Very good Stuart, they almost look studious!
Have you got more lower torso?

Love the light and I like how both are huddled together. Maybe just a little more room on the bottom.
