Today is day 3 of unseasonably gorgeous weather (high 70s!) here in Cle Elum. The chimpanzees have been out on Young’s Hill for a couple of hours now and show no signs of tiring of it. (As I write this, Jody is lying on her belly in a patch of shade munching on some grass.) Here are some photos from this afternoon:
Foxie has collected several of these wine vines to bring into the greenhouse with her:
Annie brought in a blanket she found on the hill for her nest in the greenhouse:
Burrito has been watching the goings-on from his new favorite hangout by the treat rock:
Annie’s pose with the blanket over her shoulder is priceless!! Foxie….clever as always. Burrito is just pure sexiness!!! Love me some Burrito!
They are so beautiful and human like. Makes me cry to know some will never feel grass on their feet:(. This site is excellent!!! Kisses to the happy apes:)
As biased as I am about loving pics of Mr. B, I have to give in and say that the pic of Annie and the blanket on her shoulder has gone straight to the top of the list!!! What a wonderful day with even MORE wonderful pics!! 🙂
Love, love, love them chimps!!!
Troll mouth, stick hand.
Troll hand, stick hand.
Stick mouth, troll hand.
So funny!
I am so NOT surprised that Mr. B.’s favorite site on the Hill is the treat rock.
I wonder if Foxie’s plan for the twigs are nest, tool, or little climbing structures for her babies.
