Default 2 Monkeys Cuddling - My first explored photo! + 3 more from my new 365

Just started a 365 and have got lucky with a few shots so figured I would share them before my luck runs out!

Saw these 2 lovebirds at Blackpool Zoo

Two Little Monkeys Sleeping In A Tree     *explored*

This is the Infinity Bridge in Stockton

This is me! I know mirror shots are a bit of a cliche but I think this one just about gets away with it.

And this is my eldest ...

The primates are so cute. I never thought they could appear so affectionate to one another.
I like the shapes and curves of the 2nd picture, you have eyes for interesting subjects.
Nice to see you and your eldest on the 3rd and last photo. Thanks for sharing. It seems you have plenty to share and we have plenty to be thankful for.

I found all your shots interesting. Your first and second shots are very good.

Nice selection. The bridge and mirror are my favourites.

A nice set. Great capture of the two monkeys cuddling, it's warm and comforting. Your second one has great angles and shapes. Very pleasing. I think the detail in the mirror makes your third one interesting, and it's always nice to finish with family.

Those are all fantastic shots but those monkeys are just too sweet!

I don't care if it's cliched either. I like it a lot.
