Description
Chow time for these giraffes in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve here in South Africa that is... The meal they are enjoying are leaves from a young acacia tree - their favourite snack!!!
These guys were part of a herd of 9-10 giraffes. They were on both sides of the road and were just very peacefully chowing away and criss-crossing the road right in front of us. It was magic... I shot off an obscene amount of images! Once again, I chose this one as it shows a bit of the surroundings!
Thank you for your visit and for your very welcome and valued comments and favs on my upload of the hyena and surroundings yesterday!
Take care!
Hugs, Carin xx

It is great to see the surroundings, for those of us who haven't, and probably never will, get to your wonderful country! A really beautiful pic, with a perfectly arranged trio!
Excellent work, gorgeous nature!!
excellent capture you are a lucky girl to be able to catch shots such as this.
what a fascinating shot - you have great nature !
I know several people on numerous photos have used the word luck or lucky. I wince when I hear it because I see and know the preparation that you go to, your visualization of what the photo's outcome will be, and your patience! Even when a scene is developing instantaniously your instints take over. Is that luck..no. Lucky to live in a country where there are national reserves, ok I will buy that, however you being in any country in the world would have you producing fantastic photos from the local area!!! Love the photo...love the photographer!!
I so enjoy seeing your country and all the wonderful animals, I won't ever get there so I appreciate that you take the time to share with us! Great shot Carin (((C))) Btw, you are welcome to dinner here anytime:-)
