Golden Grass

This morning was stunningly beautiful.

The fall grass touched with fresh dew seemed to be a source of light unto itself. With the angle of the morning sun and the glowing grass, the chimpanzees also seemed to emanate sunshine.

Jody, as per usual, was acting as the sentry and crossing guard:

 

Jody was VERY excited to see Negra coming out to join the group:

 

Here is Jody greeting Negra. You can see her excitement in her pilo hair:

 

Negra climbed up to the first climbing structure, with Jody in tow:

 

Here they enjoyed the sights:

 

A little while later, Negra meandered back to the greenhouse, looking simply gorgeous against the backdrop of the golden grass:

    I agree with JoAnn, the true beauty lies within you. Not that the golden grass isn’t magic, but I believe you caregivers are the true magic. And I also believe Negra makes the entire world glow, or she at least makes my entire world glow just by breathing . I love her so!

    The chimps are in God’s special place. Every time I see them on the hill, I think back to when they arrived. They had a night house and a wire outdoor enclosure. Now they are free to roam and forage on a beautiful hill in an equally beautiful valley. It warms my heart.

      Agreed.
