Thanks. I always visit with the intent to go get a good photo session with these girls, but I inevitably seem to get distracted with the big cats. Go figure. Some day, though. Goodness knows there's still a lot of room for improvement!

Glad you like it. They are fun to watch, but they're difficult to photograph for whatever reason. Kind of all over the place and always taking their breaks in just the wrong place for photos. As I told someone else though, it means there's a lot of room for improvement, so I've got something to go back for.

Fitting for the "old man of the jungle" to look like he's smoking a pipe.

Hah, somehow I had never heard that nickname for orangs before. That's pretty great.

I like how it seems to look straight at you. It looks a bit bored though, or just enjoying the sun

To some extent I think orangs always look bored, but at the very least this girl has another friend to hang out with from day to day, so she's doing okay.

I don't get to see many orangs since I don't go to the zoo that often, but I enjoy their photographs as well I'm glad she has another friend to hang out with!
