One of our customers showed up with her pet spider monkey. (I didn't even know it was legal to own one in Texas. I thought it only happened in 90s sitcoms.) Boy was this thing curious about all the shiny trinkets we had hanging around the store, too! He practically ignored the crowd of people (including me as I was taking this) to stare at the colorful bird feeders and windchimes that are just behind his handler's shoulder. What you can't see in this frame is the way he kept reaching out surreptitiously with that right foot of his trying to grab one off the hanger to play with it.
It was super cute getting to meet the guy, but for the record, I'm extremely dubious of the suitability of a primate for a pet. This encounter did little to change my mind.

Congratulations, this reminds me of a cinematic still in an old movie, well presented. a little creepy I must admit but an amazing capture for this challenge. One of my top picks for the challenge.
