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.
Giant chair sitters!

on stilts, in golden frame,
She
walks the sky without a claim.
A
silent dream with lashes long,
In
every glance, a gentle song.

Beautiful photos of 🦒 for this special day, Ginny. Giraffes are beautiful animals. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing this post.
They are all adorable!
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... ;-)
What a fun collection of giraffes. I can't even decide which one I like the best.
this reminds me of way back when we first started our blogs, we had Fence Friday, I wonder how many pictures I have of fences. love your collection and giraffes are so amazing and beautiful
I didn't know it was world giraffe day! You got some cute ones!
Giraffes are truly a magnificent creature God created.
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.

I do so love giraffes and feel so privileged to have seen them in the wild of Kenya. Such wonderful memories.

I love giraffes - I didn't know it was giraffe day - they sure can hit hard though.
I like giraffes and have a wooden one I sit around in different places in my house.
It's great that you could find all your photos of giraffes through the years, Ginny. I did not know about this holiday so thanks for the post. I learn something new all the time!
A perfect post for 'World Giraffe Day'
All the best Jan
