My 3-year-old granddaughter Bella just saw this up on my screen; "Ooohhhh cuuuuute" was her response. Apparently, living only an hour from the New Orleans zoo, the giraffe is her favorite zoo animal, although I had to explain that that was the giraffe's tongue, extended to grab the proffered leaf. I discovered her preference yesterday when she chose favorite zoo animals for all of us. Mine? A cow (???whuh???).
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
This is a great photo! I like the dappled lighting, the softness of the giraffe's fur and its the patterns, the lines on the fence, the sweetness of the look on the giraffe's face, the smallness of the hand in comparison. Just a wonderful shot and, in my opinion, could be a contender in the current contest.
Wonderful close-up, my friend!
