STAY-AT-HOME EMOJI SATURDAY
LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI 52
At this evening game drive I focused mainly on Giraffes.
I really enjoy these awkwardly designed but rather slow thinking creatures with their huge eyes.
Have a good evening – Stay safe!

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XXXXIX
We had a short and very quiet drive this afternoon. The evening sky after the sun had set was most beautiful and on my way home I passed Giraffes posing in front of the darkening sky.
When the evenings get chilly and the skies turn such deep orange then it is clear that winter is coming!
Have a good night and stay safe!

MAMMAL FRIDAY – SOUTH AFRICAN GIRAFFE
A newborn South African Giraffe is ~1.8m (~6ft) tall. After a few hours of birth, the calf can run and is almost indistinguishable from a one-week-old.
Mothers with calves will often gather in nursery herds. In such a groups they may sometimes leave their calves with one female while they forage and drink elsewhere. This is known as a “calving pool”.
Have a pleasant weekend!

GIRAFFE WEEK
I have started featuring a species per week on my social media channels. Here is a summary of the last week’s posts (and some blog bonus images). I hope you enjoy some of my favorite Giraffe pictures :-).
The pictures were taken at various locations in South Africa.
