orangutan by summerfield

orangutan

the name plate indicated it was a teenaged orangutan. it sort of looks like orangutan, but i don't know my primates. to me a monkey is a monkey is a monkey. or my cousins (tee-hee!) whatever. if it's not an orangutan, then we pretend it is because i paid lotsa money to get inside the zoo with little ivy jean and young jack. :-)

i had wanted really to go to Chinatown today, but between the fire drill and the yoga class, i really would feel guilty if i spend another hour away from my desk. there's just too much to do. tomorrow, lunch with two old friends and a meeting. when will it stop!!!

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are genuinely appreciated.

tomorrow, my "mad hatters' and 'five plus two' entries.
I hope it stops soon! :) Fun capture of monkey business.

@bill_fe - well, i don't really want it to stop because then i'd get bored if i'm at the office and not doing anything. :-P thank you, bill.

Looks like an orangutan to me! I know two- orangutans and chimpanzees. That's it. The rest of them get the title monkey. Good shot!

This Orangutan has such a melancholic expression. Very nice shot. Sounds like you had a fun time with the mini humans. I would much rather be busy even if it means I hanker after some down time!

Monkeys have tails. That is how I keep apes and monkeys straight in my head. Nice pic of him!

I like to have lots of things going on, today has been a bit of a quiet one, but good! Great photo of orangutan, the hands look quite human! Have a nice lunch with your friends : )

Isn't he just charming! I really love these guys...could watch them for hours, but I'm always with people who want to move along...("Let's get going..." they say...) Thanks for bringing him by for a visit... And why is it I haven't been following your site? Must do something about that! One of your first photos I saw was when you were sitting on the bed with curlers in your hair and your commentary had me in stitches!

@Weezilou - and is that why i don't see your postings as well? hahaha! i thought i was also following you. but i swear your posting appeared on my feed sometime ago. i don't understand how this buttons work. most times i thought i'd commented on someone's post and then next time i go to the album my comment's gone. go figure! in any case, let me click that button now before it slips my mind if that was the problem!
