Thursday’s Special: Old

 

chimp

About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘NON-CHALLENGE’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions; no red tape whatsoever. Post a photo on Thursdays, title it “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), provide a link to my post so that I may see it and include it in featured posts. If you like the Thursday’s Special widget, I will be honoured if you grab it and post it on your blog.

    Le Drake Noir brought me here. Like the idea of you free-flow, unthemed Thursday. I feel a bit sad for the dear old chimp though. She looks as if she’s seen a lot, may be more than she wants to.

    Yes, yopu can certainly see the age in the face, and all of those greay hairs indicate that there are not many sunrises left for this one.

    It’s kind of a sad portrait yet one that make me honour this olf soul.
