Back to a holiday in Cape Town back in 2020 (before the covid lockdown) we went on a wild road trip down to Hermanus and on the way home decided to take a bit of a more scenic route, which is always the best option in my personal opinion!
I am completely obsessed with clouds, watching them and seeing how they move and change throughout the day and from day to day, and clouds on mountains is such a gorgeous sight. Don't these cloud formations look fantastic? I love the combination of cloud types...
At some point along our drive we found ourselves in some stopped traffic, which is never fun when you have had a long day and just want to get home, however, this time it seemed to be perfect timing because right outside our car window were these beautiful creatures... monkeys or baboons, I am not too sure.
I so happened to have my camera out on my lap during this drive so I popped the window opened and managed to get a few fun snaps of these guys.
There was this mommy with her baby hanging on for dear life that crossed the road in between all the stopped cars. Such a sweet sight!
This sweet guy made my heart ache a bit, I am not sure if you can see in the photo but he is chewing on a piece of human trash, an energy bar wrapper... it made me so sad seeing these creatures of nature trying to eat our trash! So a friendly reminder to please throw your rubbish in a bin... never, ever out the car!
Anyway, back to this cutie-pie baby on mommy's back, he really is hanging on there hey! 😅
The sweetest looking family! I loved capturing these quick shots of these guys. They were some speedy-shots as at some point we had to start moving again, so I am quite happy with these photos.
Hope all you photo-loving peeps have a fabulous week, thank you for stopping by my little blog!

Chacma Baboons. There are a number of troops living around the Cape peninsula
Ah yes, thank you 😁
I'm also obsessed with clouds ;) and the monkeys do stand out, everything really stands out 😁. So they are like this everywhere free? How wonderful!
I honestly feel like I could take a photo of the sky every day and see a new cloud formation for the rest of my life... pretty incredible!😁 Thank you so much, glad you like the photos! Yes, I think in that area near the coast they are mostly free.🐒
Fabulous photographs, they are the living manifestation of nature with its expressiveness of natural love, dear, @ajchampz 😍
Thank you!😊 It always so nice seeing natural love in nature and wildlife!
I really like seeing monkeys and in my area we can also find lots of animals like this.How are you today friend and hopefully always the best for you.
Thank you so much, it is always a lovely thing to spot these awesome creatures!
Oh cuánto amor se refleja en la última foto

Never venture to close to those baboons they will/can/do attack humans, not quite as friendly as one would think. Who could blame them we have taken too many of their areas to roam freely in.

Its true, we really have taken too many of their homes... they need to be respected as wild animals and not messed with
Never get into an altercation with baboons you will come off second best !LOLZ
Very true, they have quite hectic teeth as well🙈
Have witnessed them rip through thatch roof to get into a home, they tend to know what they want.
Gosh, that's quite terrifying!😱
Never feed them or interact with them, leave them to the wild as much as possible.
