The orangutans were among our favorites and I sometimes thought they had special interest in us, too, as we both had red hair.

Posted from Edinburgh Zoo – a Picture of an Orang Utan on the front and the words on the back say ‘When he knew I was visiting from Newcastle’ – He said “Do you Know my Cousin Mavis?”

Claude its amazing how you bring many memories back to me. I got the card out and had another laugh at it.

Keep posting – you make one who is slightly overdrawn at 71 very happy.

I got it, Claude. It’s marvellous. Thank you! A lot of dignity and kindness in that face. I imagine an old lady, sitting at her window, watching the world going pass and thinking, “They’ll get here, one day. It’s life!”

@ Marion, thanks, Marion. He was fascinated, I think.

He seems fascinated. I always enjoy your pictures.

Even on flick’r. I’ve been told to return, which I did 3 times, today. Not working. The photo is beautiful. Yes, I could have a friendship with this ape. Often wondering: did we improve, or did we degenerate? LOL
