You need a very tall glass with a straw 2 in. diameter Jimbob. At the zoo here they have containers hanging from the tree where they can help themselves to fresh leaves etc. Looks good with that red background.

I was expecting to see a "tall glass of water" before opening your image, Jimbob. I never know with you! This giraffe looks great with the tent background. Bravo!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Perfect title JimboB.
I remember when they called Gary Cooper a "tall drink of water," in the movie "The Westerner."
That must be a big basket on the Hot Air Balloon or it's a short legged Giraffe.
Oh, it's a tent. Never mind.

The backdrop colors set him off nicely Jim and gives it kind of a circus feel.

Marvelous shot of this very tall fellow, did you know that the giraffe's tongue is up to 50cm/20inch long. Love the look in his eyes and those long chin whiskers, outstanding colours and detail

I know I wasn't expecting a giraffe, but they are one of my favorite animals. I like the grin he / she has on it's face. Wonderful capture, Jim.

The higher the altitude, the colder it is. So it has no need for a cold drink fridge Jimbob, lol.

Very good close-up wit a surprising background.

A great close up JimBob - I guess you used a zoom and did not climb up there. The blue and red background makes it a very pretty capture.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.
