This is 52 year old "Janey" at the San Diego Zoo. She is the oldest Orangutan at the Zoo. A little slower moving now due to arthritis she is always at the window engaging with people. I have seen her watch a small child turning pages of a book, she watched, intently, as a woman was cutting up paper with scissors and she loves when you start taking things out of your purse and showing them to her!!! She is also a wonderful painter!
Just found out today 6/9, that Janey was euthanized due to a heart condition. So glad I got to see her before this happened. She will be missed greatly.

How can you not love a face like that? What a gorgeous portrait. You capture is facial features and expression perfectly and then the long red hair. Details are incredible. #11483242Leslie McLain June 07, 2016

A wonderful portrait of Janey, Kathy. I liked her immediately and loved the story, despite the sad ending. Thank you for sharing.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
