This giraffe seemed particularly enamored of this tree...thought it was so cute. Hope you like them...

Oh My, Leona, These photos are wonderful. He/she gives the impression that the Giraffe must have thought: "You're tall, just like me! Will you be my mom?" G-r-e-a-t!

A stunning pair of pictures Leona and I really like that you'ver adopted a slightly alternative approach to giraffe shots and havn't tried to capture them full length.
Both pictures are charming as are the expressions. interest and contentment, excellent job

Softness, love and all sort of mushy feelings transpire these two great captures.
This young fellow seems to be a bit confused, though. The zoo-shrink will have to work hard set things straight. LOL.
Thanks for taking me back to the zoo after all these years.
