2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Monkey, Arashiyama Monkey Park, Japan
Serious Snackin'

Species: Monkey | Location: Arashiyama Monkey Park, Japan

By Rose Valdez

There was no shortage of inspiration at Arashiyama Monkey Park. This monkey was so intent on keeping his food safe. I could have spent days observing and photographing the wildlife, their interaction with the wild and each other.

About The Photographer

Cropped dsc 0169
Photography is a hobby for me. Although I've taken a few classes, nothing ever seems to stick so I've learned by trial and error. I enjoy taking lots of photos on our vacations, particularly of wildlife, if there's any around. Really, I'm just an average person trying to capture the moment and beauty around me.
