ZOOLOGY 101

I photographed this image on my patio the other night.


It looked familiar to me but I couldn't pin down the name.

Some checking around the Great Google found the answer.


That's the loveable face of the Proboscis Monkey.

Scientists tell us the longer the nose the more attractive he is to the female of his species.

Oh, and the top picture?

That's our 3-wicked candle which is said to repel gnats and mosquitoes and other pests trying to interrupt the peacefulness of my cocktail hour.

And make me think of weird monkeys.

So ends my lecture today.

Class dismissed.
