An intense focus
June 15, 2014 by Lisa -
Jamie takes life pretty seriously. She likes to work on her projects, eat meals, take walks, and interact very intensely. Her focus can certainly be intimidating but it’s one of the traits I really admire, probably because it resonates. Today we set up a cabbage forage in the playroom after morning cleaning. In the series of photos that I snapped of Jamie enjoying the cabbage you can see how intently she was savoring each bite. What is even more unusual about this series is that Jamie was so absorbed with her snack that I was able to get in a number of shots before her focus turned to the camera!

do they get upset when you take pictures of them?
The chimpanzees are a lot like humans when it comes to tolerating having their picture taken. Most of the time they don’t seem to mind but they all have individual preferences and Jamie, in particular, will let you know when she’s had enough.
I’vw always found Genius Jamie intensely interesting!
Oh yum!
