Despite having a bit of a sideways blowing snowstorm yesterday, we found most of it melted today. (Don’t worry, Burrito has eaten his weight in snow so far today as the shady spots still hold plenty for snacking). The sun is in full bloom, but we have a freezing prequel to the infamous spring winds of the area that have been thundering through the sanctuary like a freight train all day. Even though everyone has access to their outdoor areas, the wind is just too much for any of the chimpanzees to tolerate being outside in it seems, so everyone has been melted into their individual sun puddles on both sides of the chimp house.
Behold, Willy B, the Sun King:
Maybe one of the newer CSNW resident’s, The “RockStar,” Mr. Willy B, is dreaming as he naps in that puddle of warm sunshine that he’s back in So.Cali. visiting all his old friends deep in the Angeles Nat’l Forest, while he hears the familiar sounding “Santa Ana Winds” howling through his nearby window…What a fascinating & magnificent guy he is… : )
Katelyn, you have a gift for photography. I am in Minnesota, and you have let me feel the Pacific Northwest sunshine just as Willy B did. Thank you for the beautiful photos.
All hail the Sun king !
Apollo has nothing on Willy B, it looks as if he is glowing.
Great photos of Willy B. the sun king. My 2 beagles follow the sun
around the foyer every day it is shining. Enjoy Willy B.
As he should. . They all deserve many days in the sun!
