    I never tire of seeing the beauty which emanates from these wond’rous chimpeople.
    And, in a similar vein, I hope that the human primate who took up Burrito ‘s offer of a game
    of Chase did not tire. too quickly…

    my weatherman spoke about the high heat up and down the west coast…combined with their love of jogging/running, keep those water bowls full…………………

    Negra! And her bead-head right shoulder. Foxie’s hand-holding-foot. Burrito, adorable no matter what expression he flashes. Jamie on high. Beautiful den mother JoJo. Each captioned photo tells a wonderful little story. Thank you for giving them these precious moments.

    Negra looked so reflective that I was wondering if she was thinking about her old life and how she was saved from that life.

    Thank you, JB! What a gifts these pics are! The very idea that Neggie can sit outside in the breeze and survey her territory is a remarkable thing, and the freedom each has to do their own thing. Naturally, Jamie is looking for remaining forage, but there’s also that “I’m Queen of the Hill” attitude and body posture hanging out there on the edge that is such a powerful image. That their own personalities get to be expressed in whatever ways suit them in the moment is such a big part of their freedom. I swoon over each of the chimps, but gotta say, that expression on Burrito’s face is just plain charming!
