Description
Hello all!
Went to the zoo with Georgy this week to see the new gorilla exhibit . Shot this little Mother and baby scene with my pocket cam ( found out the slr canon I bought on eBay is dysfunctional I knew it never really worked right- hmm -yep, last time I buy something 2nd hand!) so a bit grainy from the zoom.
Took this Mama and Baby from pretty far away so played with it in paint shop a bit doing the painty/smudgy thing I do...( sometimes get carried away lol)_oops! (Hey its fun to play though)
Wasn't sure if I should put this up in photography or 2d but the entire shot compo (other than the grain ) was like it is here so will put in in photography today..
Anyways fell in love with this baby that was along for the ride on Mama's back. The little guy was so cute and cuddly it melted my heart, I felt lucky to capture the little one hugging mamas back as she smiled my way !
Then there was another gorilla there ,that actually did sign language!!
... so I signed to him that he was good and that I loved him and WOW ~he proudly signed back "thank you" and clapped and made this big annimated faces!
It seemed surreal to me at that point like I was communicating /connectiong on some level with this amazing animal and it's something will never forget!
I wondered if it had been in some kind of signing program. At that point the camera took back burner and I was embraced in the moment!
M'girls went up to the snow for the day (inner tubing) so have some time on the comp here finally yeaaaa...
Thanks for all your time and comments ,as well as beautiful work !
Love to you all!
((( BIG HUGS )))
