Hey..thanks for commenting on "Cat's Eye"...the shot was actually taken by my sister and edited by me. I believe she used her camera's standard flash with the quickest shutter speed possible in order to get the shot before the cat blinked. I had to do some significant editing of the shot, but definitely keep trying. Keep clicking them off and you're bound to get a good one to work with.
One item on my "bucket list" is to visit every National Park in the United States. So far, 2 are in the book. Please check out my website for all my shots from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
Hello Christine...I had not seen your photo postings before today and I just wanted to tell you how I am enjoying what I've seen so far. And welcome you to caedes. I also like your avie name and picture...very cute...Verena
Christine, thanks for commenting on "Hey! Over Here!!" I hadn't noticed , but you are quite right about the shadow looking like an elephant!
You are also right about two of the giraffes being Rothschild's giraffes but I'm not sure about the others. Here's a quote from Chester Zoo's website maybe that will help.
"The Masai Giraffe, found in south Kenya and Tanzania, for instance, has star-shaped brown spots in an irregular formation on a light buff background, while the Reticulated Giraffe which inhabits north Kenya, has larger chestnut patches outlined in white. Another sub-species, the Rothschild’s Giraffe lives in west Kenya and parts of Uganda, and can be distinguished from the Reticulated Giraffe by the expanse of the white dividing lines between its patches. Those of the Rothschild’s Giraffe are much wider."
" Journalism largely consists of saying "Lord Jones is Dead" to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive. ."

The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
