All’s right with the world
January 27, 2014 by Lisa -
Days and days of cold, gray skies and icy, freezing fogs have visited us here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest recently. However, that hasn’t deterred the chimpanzees from enjoying the privilege of Young’s Hill. Today was no exception; once finished with breakfast the chimpanzees ventured out into the frozen landscape to patrol, explore, and relish their freedom. I was lucky enough to capture an action sequence of Jamie climbing to the top of one of the wooden platforms in order to get a good view of her world. I hope you enjoy it!

What a joy it is to see the chimpanzees being able to do what comes natural to them – climbing a tree and surveying their domain. I suppose even though its cold it brings them a sense of freedom many of will never understand. How wonderful that you are there to provide them this.
What a joy is right! How wonderful to see Jamie on top of her world, Queen of all she can see — and on a cold day no less. Loved the photo sequence (had to giggle at the shot of Jamie looking up!), thanks so much for letting us feel a part of the active life at CSNW.
Excellent pics of Genius Jamie!
