Baboons near Lake Nakuru, Kenya

 (Patrick Kriner)

As we were travelling from the Lake Nakuru area in Kenya on our way to the Masai Mara, we came upon a group of Baboons relaxing in the trees.  We stop to photograph them for a while and were amazed at the interaction among this family of Baboons.  Although they look cute, they can be quite menacing.  The light was playing tricks on us as we were in a forested area but every now and then they would stop their activity and rest in an area where the light was perfect.  Sometimes the images we captured on the way from one point to the next were just as interesting and dynamic as those at our final destination.  Remember to always have your camera with you and always at the ready.  You never know what you might see while traveling towards a new destination.  Enjoy!
