Well done Evelyn. I do like giraffes. Did you know that no two have the same spots. They are all different like snow flakes. Good stuff. God Bless, JB

That is fascinating information, which I did not know, Judy! It reminds me of human fingerprints. Thank you so much for your appreciation. God Bless, Evelyn

Until I checked out your photo there, Evelyn, I never realized that a giraffe has kind of a horn, almost like a rhino... Interesting stuff. Partly clloudy, gw
