Andrea, i love Giraffes, especially their eyelashes - you can even notice them in this picture, but from up close up when they pass our car in the park, they look like extra extra long, super long individual lashes. Great Haiku and wonderful pic. hugs and blessings, Jennifer

Indeed... By the way giraffes or the only mammals that cannot produce any sounds from their vocal cords. Something to think about.

I like this entry, Andrea, and I expect it to top the winners' list. Giraffes are lovely (wild) animals and a joy to watch them move in 'slow motion'. ~ Regards and happy Easter // paul
