A Thorny Interlude

[John Lowin]

Olive Baboon Eating Fruit in an Acacia thicket. I think the fruit is probably from the Sausage Tree. We saw various animals eating the fruit, the local natives brew beer out of it, if they can get the fruit before the animals do. Image created in Samburu, Kenya. Hope you like it, Thanks for looking. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

Great looking baboon John !!!

I like the setting which enhances the image .. btw he means business with that fruit !!!

Hi John, this is a time when a busy backround doesn't bother me. It adds alot of interest and makes one wonder how he can sit there. The eyes on the Baboon with an intense stare adds greatly also. Nice image!

I wouldn't try and take that fruit away from him :)

Excellent capture, BG enhances the mood.

BG really sets the stage for his look. Anyone thing willing to sit in that thicket means business.
