We’ve been so busy in the chimp house today! Staff and some amazing volunteers raked out all the wood chips and straw in the greenhouse and replaced it with fresh shiny wood chips and straw! 🙂 What didn’t happen, was capturing any good photos. However, a few days ago I captured some photos of Jamie in one of her secret fort building modes and while they aren’t great quality, I do think they’re endearing. She’s always surprising us with her architectural feats and her desire to occasionally build “secret hideout” forts which are incredibly creative and amusing. Maybe she’s been feeling inspired by her Dwell magazines.
And once again we indulged her need to go incognito and pretended we couldn’t find her. I mean, we all need to hide out now and again. “Jamie?? Jamie? Where are you?”
So smart!
Oh yeah, there is no doubt Jamie has been inspired by Dwell magazine. And it’s not the quality of the photos that counts but the look on Jamie’s face. And that expression is priceless. I can hear you calling her name and then, that face — oh I feel a tug on my heart.
To the best volunteers in WA, thank you for all your hard work involved in spring cleaning the greenhouse for the chimps. You guys are the bomb!
How adorable is this? Love her peeking out from her hideaway.
Jamie looks so serious & in deep thought…If only we could know what’s on her mind…Chimpanzees will forever fascinate me beyond any logical explanation…As well as the other Great Apes…
I look forward to meeting the chimps and seeing how their lives are improved for the better!
Her face is SO sweet. I want to hide behind a plastic (or any) table sometimes too. 🙂
What a twinkle in those eyes,… and ….oh to be inside that brain for a glimpse of the thoughts… although I think we get that through her expressive eyes 🙂
