Today was the kind of day to kick your feet up…
Annie:
take in the wonder of your surroundings…
Missy:
share a moment with a friend in the sun…
Missy & Annie grooming:
enjoy what nature has to offer…
Burrito eating snow:
settle in with a good book…
Jamie and a new boot book:
and take some trolls for a walk.
Foxie with a troll scarf:
Happy Saturday from the chimpanzees!
Oops, the head came off the troll doll — accidentally. 😉 Jamie has books about boots? hahahahahahahaha !
Ooooooh, the photo of Missy is absolutely yummy. Looks like a perfectly perfect day!
This was wonderful! 🙂
Diana, I wish to commend you for taking these photographs. I am especially impressed with the photograph of Missy. The lighting, and the color contrast between her amber eyes and the penumbra of grays elsewhere on her face, is absolutely beautiful. I’m not sure if the subject of your portraiture would be interested in seeing the finished product (Missy is, after all, a “Chimp’s Chimp”), but I wonder if she would enjoy seeing herself in such a manner. And yes, she does appear to be taking in the wonder of her surroundings.
Thank you, Tobin! The story behind that photo of Missy is there was snow sliding off the roof of the greenhouse, which caused her to gaze towards the ceiling in the middle of a grooming session with Annie. Though the snow movement was rather loud and dramatic, she was simply curious and remained content in the safety of the greenhouse. I just love her expression in the photo, though I wish I had caught her full face and not cut off her chin. I also love the chimps’ amber colored eyes. I’ll see if I can catch Missy in a still moment to show her the photo 🙂
