Wonderful image of the late Rango, Kay! I love to watch the orangutans! They are so docile for the most part and are incredibly smart. Beautiful image here! #10205043

Bravo Kay! Thanks for posting this tribute to Rango - well captured. He reminds me a bit of a phys ed teacher I had long ago (I think, though, that the teacher was a bit more hairy). Keep up the good work. Best Regards, Steven #10302622
