Default Silver Springs Park, Florida

A few shots I took at a recent trip to Silver Springs with a couple of photo friends of mine.







I was on a riverboat ride at the time these images were taken. The Rhesus monkey are wild on the island and can be vicious. I couldn't get one good shot of one; but I tried. This one was watching us as we glided by. And of course the driver never stopped so we had to take our pictures fast.

I haven't been there in years, but it doesn't look like it has changed much. Great shot of the monkey. He does look a little put off by the visitors.

Great Shots, the 1st is mysterious and beautiful, the 2nd is my favorite, I love the boats and the colors.
The Monkey shot turned really well, good detail and he looks curious.
Thanks for Sharing
