A Study in Annie Chimpanzee

March 26, 2016 by Diana

Chimpanzees are not known for being delicate, but Annie somehow manages to be graceful and elegant, particularly when she is having a quiet moment to herself.

    These images are works of art. Eye candy for the heart and soul. Annie does look as graceful as a ballerina. It reminds me of when I was a student taking figure drawing classes with live models, makes be want to break out my charcoal and sketch her lovely form. Beautiful Diana!!!

      I was thinking about her as a dancer, too – something about the way she carries herself and her long hands. I started to write something about that in my head, but it just didn’t come together, so I’m glad you said it. You should break out the charcoal!

    WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF PHOTOS. THOSE HANDS ARE THAT OF A HUMANS ONLY IN A DARKER SHADE. You caretakers are costing me a fortune in ink cartridges because I want to copy every singly e-mail and keep the pictures in a binder.

    What beautiful close-ups of Annie! I am so amazed at how delicate and slender her fingers are. They look the size of mine! She is so sweet-looking. Wow, would I love to meet her one day. I’ll put that on my bucket list!!!

    If the caption had Annie making bird noises, it would be perfect.
