Hello all...we were in Japan for a 3 week wildlife tour early February. Most of the trip was lost due to me getting Covid on day 3 and deciding to call it quits and returning home on day 6. My wife also tested positive after arriving home. Big disappointment but the right decision to come home. I am still struggling with symptoms but gradually getting better.

Anyway a goal of mine for quite a while was seeing the Snow Monkeys near Nagano. I was only able to spend about 5 hours with them out of 2 1/2 days the group was there but got some great photos...hope you enjoy them!

Great set. Each seems to have a unique personality. All have that ponderous look in their eyes. Intriguing.

Excellent set, I've often wondered why they don't freeze after getting out of the water.

We wonder the same thing, their hair is very thick and they seem to shake the water off very easily.

Great pictures. I love the suble steam rising. It really makes the subject stand out. Thanks for sharing them

Thank you, I am glad we were with a group because traveling in Japan on trains from Tokyo seemed really complicated for us old people!

Yes, the steam provided a lot of mood to the scene partially obscuring the monkeys and surroundings.
