About My husband and I took a trip to Woodland Park Zoo on Sunday. The gorillas were in top form. This one was definitely the matriarch and kept them all in line. I loved her wrinkles. I'll probably post a few more later on.

Very nice photograph. When you actually take a moment to study her face she almost appears to have an expression of being deep in thought.

I wouldn't argue with her either
When I look at this I think of my ex mother in law
Stunning capture though
(I think she would be a nicer mother in law than the one I had)

An extremely provocative image Susie. Powerful and deeply moving. Her expression says it all - Captive.

Can't wait to see more of your work with these.

Oh poor, what a sad visage!!! Her wrinkled face is very talking. Nice photo dear Susie just it's makes me feel sad. You know I love animals and nature but I can't stand a human barbarism. Our task save the animals life not to kill the fauna! Excuse me dear that I get angry.
Lovely work dear Susie! :)
My best regards!

Whoah!!! Great shot of this grizzled primate, Susie!!

I look forward to the next!!

Best regards, Chris

P.S. Have you heard this story? I used it in my talk on Genesis on Sunday morning?

Passing by the primate area one day, a zookeeper noticed a monkey sat on a rock with an open book in either hand, looking first at one and then at the other. Upon closer inspection, he identifies the books as the Bible and Darwin?s ?Origin of the Species?.

A little curious, the keeper asks the chimp, ?What?s with the books?? And the chimp replies, ?I?m trying to decide if I?m my brother?s keeper, or my keeper?s brother.? )
