Posting to the blog is one of my favorite job duties. I love sharing stories, photos, or videos of the chimpanzees, because someone is almost always doing something funny, endearing, impressive, or otherwise interesting. But capturing these moments on camera can be a challenge.
I just came across a series of photos Diana took a couple of weeks ago of Foxie and Burrito playing. The series perfectly illustrates our daily struggles trying to get photos of the chimpanzees for the blog. When we witness moments like this, we run and grab the camera.
But as soon as the chimps catch sight of the photographer, whatever blog-worthy thing they were doing often comes screeching to a halt, as though it never happened.

That is hilarious!

IT’s like they think they’re getting caught doing something, which of course they are, but it’s not anything anyone wants them to stop. The next to last pic looks like both of them are thinking – “who? me? no way!!”
Wishing you all very Happy Holidays and I am hoping to see you in the new year, as spring comes…..
