NATURE, ROOTS, GUESTS

We happen to find our dwelling surrounded by the mighty roots, old old roots from the old old trees around..

I just wonder how old this "Saga" tree aged.
The trunk and its roots surely looking scary and spooky...

It is only 10 feet away from the master bedroom (used to be mine before).

This old roots really scares me even during day time

They do look like snakes or creatures..

This is the aftermath of fierce stormy day.
The ground next door is covered by huge dried leaves.

That is not a water pipe line you know? Its the root from the tree outside our compound.

What a coincidence... the monkeys are sitting in the right spot... but these are taken a week apart.

Enjoying the cream crackers up on a tree

Ops! I have just missed one... either he went too fast or my old cam was too slow

He must be one of them up there

A new born... black hair and so tiny

That's him there in his mother's arms

He has more than one in his hands

Still surrounded by crackers.

He must be the leader... the others stay in a distance while he finishes his share.... BE my guests.

I live amongst the Nature and the Nature lives with me...
The Roots, grass, trees, plants, flowers, herbs, monkeys, squirrels, birds and bees

GENERAL M

Friends not-from-afar
They came they invaded
That’s their nature
We were forced
To cooperate which is better

First they were
A whole lot of sixty
Would you believe it???
The trees looked like
Being blown by hurricane
When they jumped
At once I knew

They gave me the creeps
At close encounters
They are harmful and
Went wild when provoked

After Hari Raya
I ignored the sms
Mummy, close all windows
Was the message

While ironing some clothes
The noise came
From you guess where?
The dining table

There were three of them
Who?
The generals
Sitting comfortably on it
Tasting the sweet and beautiful tarts
Messing about in all parts

I was jumping and shooing
Much to their amazement
So? I have another relative
Living in this house too?
Was what they say of me

Then one day the big group broke up
Probably the men from the Environment
Took the law in their hands
Less than twenty kept coming
Sometimes I fed them
With dried dates, apricots and figs so many
Now they become my acquaintance
But never could get close

They even managed my bananas trees
But, never mind…

Although a few hours later
After this photo shoot
One middle tree
Was severed of its top
As discovered
It was newly emerged bananas

But never mind…

They are still my friends
And
They needed food to eat
Which I could never give
Help yourselves to treat
Dear monkeys
That’s all I could offer
