The simple things

November 6, 2013 by Katelyn

This afternoon I went out to see who might be in the greenhouse and I found this good looking guy (Burrito, if you are new the the blog!) just hanging out:

Burrito often becomes shy when the camera comes out but he remained pretty calm and nonchalant, until…

I pointed out a lone potato that had been left over from lunch. The look on his face is as if to say, “WHAT?! A potato?!” (Notice that precision focus):

After a quick scan of the greenhouse to make sure no one was watching, he silently swung down, grabbed the potato, and took it back to the top platform to gaze at adoringly and enjoy:

The simple things in life. I am always thankful to the chimpanzees for reminding me to appreciate the little things.

    I love the look you captured when he realized there was a lone potato (and no other competition) about.
