Necking

 World Giraffe Day was today! This annual event, organized by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, raises awareness about the declining giraffe population, which has decreased by nearly 30% over the past 35 years.

Here are some giraffe photos that I have taken over the years. This one stands in front of a toy store and has his outfit changed periodically



Lots of different sizes.


This one stands on the roof of a miniature golf building.


Pretty in pink.




Giant chair sitters!


Tables


Penny Smashing Machine


Grace on stilts, in golden frame, 

She walks the sky without a claim. 

A silent dream with lashes long, 

In every glance, a gentle song.

That giraffe outside the toy store sounds like a cheerful ambassador for a serious cause. What a lovely way to bring attention to conservation through a touch of whimsy

You seem to have been very good at sorting/labeling your photos, to be able to find them again... ;-)

I LOVE Giraffes! Whenever I visit the Zoo, I must see the Giraffes. These are cute giraffe items, GInny. The one standing in front of the toy store is delightful. The pink one is darling. And the poem is sweet.

Have a peaceful Sunday and good week ahead.
