Happiness is Meeting Friends

Our human turned a corner, something moved in front, immediately stopped and looked.
Monkeys were in front on the path a few feet away. They, too, stopped and looked.
Then someone approaching from behind said, "Good Morning!" Our human turned and saw a hiker acquaintance. He asked, "What are you doing?" I replied,"Snapping photos".
Those monkeys scampered!
Isn't that rear end view cute?
That hiker walked on.
Perhaps the monkeys recognised our human and then came down from the upper branches.
Our human was delighted to be able to capture this wonderful moment and had to refrain from hugging it. It looked at our human in such a cute coquettish position with seemingly cross-eyes.
Actually they are not cross-eyed but the markings made it look such.
They are so cute and friendly.
These are dusky leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus), also dknown as the spectacled langur or the spectacled leaf monkey, a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae.

Hikers who want to see the wildlife would do better to be quieter. Thank you for sharing these delightful photos, I'd enjoy walking quietly and seeing monkeys around.
