Tightrope

November 6, 2015 by J.B.

Chimpanzees are endowed with unmatched grace and athleticism,

web_crop_Jamie_tightrope_fire_hose_YH_jb_1_IMG_6141

a combination of raw power and finesse,

web_crop_Jamie_tightrope_fire_hose_YH_jb_2_IMG_6144

with a dancer’s agility and a gymnast’s delicate balance,

their talents so great they border on god-like,

making even the most daring feats of acrobatics seem so effortless,

they can do them with their eyes closed.

Most of the time.

    Hi JB!
    These are most excellent pics but I can’t decipher which of the glorious chimps that it is…

    The only thing missing is dramatic music in the background!! However, to Jamie’s credit, she did gracefully catch and save herself with finesse. (Maybe she should have kept her eyes opened). If that were me, I’d have fallen with a thud. Thanks for the laugh.
