The other day, early, I heard the boom boom whoop of the old boy, high up in the trees behind the house. It’s been a while since the troupe visited – too long – it’s been lonely without the familiar sounds of them bounding over the roof, catching flashes of them leaping across the void to one of the trees on their aerial pathway.
Then, later, guess whose uncle I saw, believing he was hiding from me, up in the custard apple tree?
Serendipity – WP challenged us to look up this weekend. Well, it was fun to see this shy fellow – but greedy me, I wonder if young Hanuman and his mother will drop by before I leave?

What a great “up” gallery.
Adorable little fellow. I love this.
How wonderful of him to stop in for a visit! Hopefully the others will come by too.
Sorry it couldn’t have been an elephant, for your husband – though elephants bounding across the roof might be a bit much … 🙂
Great fun!
wow, magic shots meredith! i was thinking your troupe a few days ago and wondering if you had seen them , especially since your departure is looming, it gladdens my heart and lifts my spirits to see them in the custard apple tree … marvellous!!!

Wonderful photos!
Very nice pics.
They are shy bur red faced are real crook. They not only eat fruits but damage tree also. Loved your photographs.
These kinds of neighbours have a way becoming part of a wonderful living landscape, and we welcome the gift of their presence and think of them in their absence, theirs or ours 🙂
Great gallery, Meredith – I’m glad he came to see you before you leave 🙂
This was a wonderful collection and I’m happy they returned so that you could take a few parting shots. I hope they stay a while for you.
I hope that Hanuman returns with his bounty.
You’re on a roll, WG – the second time this week you’ve made me smile! Cheers! 🙂
Ah – TSL – how nice that I could – especially with autumn setting in at last. 🙂
Does he share my taste for custard apples, and can he manage without a spoon?
You should see him, Viv! A little messy around the mouth, with all that face fur, but spoonless, of course!
Delighted to meet one more member of the Hanuman family 🙂 Wouldn’t it be a perfect – for you and the rest of his fans – if Hanuman dropped by himself to bid adieu?
Amazing! 🙂 I love these!
Really is a beautiful animal.
I’m glad you get to see him before you leave. Wonderful captures!
Well I know I won’t see anything like that when I look up. What a wonderful surprise for you.

While you’re looking up, he’s looking down. Don’t you wonder what he’s thinking about?
Yes, I do – always, food, but more pressingly, if he catches me looking at him, he’s trying not to be seen – the troupe is living on the edge of an expanding city and I’m afraid they must be experiencing more and more adrenaline rushing run-ins with us humans and/or our animals.
Serendipity part 2 – Just a couple of hours back, I stepped out of the house, and immediately ran back in… A monkey was climbing up the stairs, heading upstairs towards me. With so many trees around, it was kind of funny, the monkey taking the stairs 🙂
Nice one for ‘up’. Haven’t seen our monkeys for a while now, obviously not time. Although as nisperos are coming into fruit and figs too, I would have thought they may pay a visit soon.
Hope your troupe find time to say Bon voyage.
He looks very serious and maybe even a little stern! 🙂

Fabulous pics! THank you for popping by to my pad. I’m off for a mosey round yours now 🙂
I see your departure is quickly approaching — I know you will have wonderful new adventures and perspectives to share with us, although I will miss the regular visits to the SriLankan corner of the world.
What a great series of photos, Meredith. Perfect for the the theme. Amazing to me that you have this view right out your window!
Love it! Very different from my backyard visitors.
Thanks for sharing such wonderful photos…the certainly put a smile on my face.
