Just the right piece

There is no shortage of snow on the ground in Cle Elum, so the chimpanzees don’t have to step far outside for a cold snack. They don’t have to, but with this sunny weather they’ve been venturing farther and farther onto Young’s Hill just to grab a handful of snow and bring it back inside to eat. It seems the snow is just an excuse to have a quick outdoor adventure.

This morning Jody walked outside with purpose, climbed up onto the shaky bridge, gathered a very specific chunk of snow from the bridge, and immediately climbed back down and went back inside.

    Looks like a perfect piece of snow to me. She was definitely a lady on a mission !

    Was she limping?

      No, she was just hobbling along on three limbs, handicapped slightly by the chunk of snow in her hand. 🙂
