I am pretty polarized about this discussion

I spy something old and electrical that makes noise

I spy a vehicle that will probably never again move under its own power.

I spy more broken down old equipment

I spy something brownish and tilted

[ this image worked better with one I swear was in the thread just seconds before, trust me ]

[ I have always pictured a gong as a flat disk of some sort hanging from a frame work that is struck by a hammer type object - dinner gong or Chinese gong ]

I spy a primate who is a swinger. Siamang gibbon. I took maybe 25 images of these fellows swinging through their place, and this is the only one that was anything near satisfactory. The rest were too blurred by motion - much faster than it looked.

they tend to twist as they swing so I have found in my experience ( in zoos ) hard to get a good photo of the face as they swing

I don't think that is a Primate. In any event I spy

Oops...I misread this...lemurs are the primate

Unrelated animals, lemurs and meerkats differ more than they resemble each other. Lemurs are a diverse group of 100 or so species of primates; meerkats are a single species of mongoose. Most species of lemurs are endangered, while no species of mongoose is endangered or even threatened.

Soooo I spy a furry fellow with an attitude

**WPRESTO** · 04-19-2018, 09:10 AM

Well, reassuring to know I'm not a primate, but I always had my suspicions.

Thanks. Meerkats in a zoo are pretty easy & reliable photo-subjects if you're just a little patient, and they're cute too.
