Gazing Skyward

This small Vervet Monkey was sitting a few feet from the path as we headed toward Victoria Falls in Zambia. I was fascinated because the monkey looked so human, gazing intently upward. Was he expecting a sign from above, checking the weather or just contemplating his next move?
What a wonderful monkey. Fantastic capture. Love it.

I wonder what is really going through that mind

Incredible...... He's definitely got something on his mind.... and looking upwards to get an answer.

Looking for manna from heaven?!! Great capture! So sweet.....but, I have learned to watch out for monkeys as they tend to swoop down and grab shiny things like your glasses!

@panthora We witnessed the funniest incident later this same day. We were at the border crossing between Zambia and Zimbabwe, waiting in our jeep when a monkey jumped from the roof of a building and grabbed a grocery bag out of a bicycle basket and ran back up on the roof. Ten minutes later, the bike owner came back and stood looking for the missing groceries,! We were cracking up!
