Nap Time
January 30, 2016 by Diana -
I love taking photos and video of the chimpanzees running around, being active, and getting into mischief. Active chimpanzees are generally happy chimpanzees, and when I watch them explore and run I think of all of the years they lived in small cages.
There’s also something incredible, though, about watching the chimps truly relax.
Today the sun is streaming into the playroom and seems to be making Jamie and Negra very sleepy.
Jamie, in typical Jamie fashion, is curled up in her nest with boots and toys:
Of course, being Jamie, this nap is not going to last very long:
Negra is in her spot on the catwalk of the playroom in front of the window – feet up in the air:
Doesn’t this just make you want to join them in relaxing in the sun?

Her posture says,”I am safe. I am relaxed. I am home!!”
Pictures of peace and contentment! Beautiful!
Seeing Negra brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful! She is the poster girl for SANCTUARY. Oh she look so lovely and snug and warm. And Jamie looks to me as if she is considering a walk around the shoveled paths! That last photo of her is priceless, what a glint in her eye. Sweet dreams to all…..
Thank you for the beautiful pictures and for making them feel so at home.
I would love to join them.
Really wish Jamie would reconsider her choice of a pillow. HA!
