Monkeys in the Hood

Monkeys in the Hood
Originally uploaded by Jessica Leas Photography

I'm playing on my computer and I look up to see through the curtain something running on top of the wall outside my window. Too big to be a squirrel, I figure it is a monkey or a cat. So I grab the camera and run outside to see. A black faced languer in my yard! Of course, he had to sit high up in a tree right in front of the mid-day sun for his photo shoot, so the picture is awful. Still, I feel the need to share. I knew monkeys were in the yard because I hear them yelling at night, but I've never seen one. Until now anyway!
