It’s not often that I take non-blurry, close-up pictures of each of the chimps. There are number of reasons for this, one being operator error. Second, third and fourth reasons are that the chimps are often moving, just out of sight of the camera, or would rather not have their picture taken. So, when the close-up photos actually turn out, I cannot stop looking at them.
Sometimes pictures just convey so much more than words ever can about the beauty, serenity or nature of each of the chimpanzees. These are some of my favorite close-ups of each of the chimps from the past few weeks.

All of them!
I love them ALL. it would be unfair to just choose one,
I like the picture of Missy with another Chimp in the Background. Annie?
It has surreal feel.
They all look so peaceful and happy.
Love them all!
Personally I am always amazed with all the beautiful photos, close up and far away, that you all take! Nothing harder than photographing animals and kids because they usually are in motion. Sometimes it takes 30+ shots to get one semi-good photo (Focus?! What’s focus?!?). I think CSNW has an endless supply of outstanding images. And these 7 photos prove my point. Beautiful — I could study them forever!
These are all so beautiful and touching. Their individual looks, the light in their eyes. Each of them unique and beautiful.
I love the chimp’s wonderful expressive faces. They are the true meaning of beauty!
I look in their eyes and definately see an intelligence behind them.
