Description
We have arrived safely in New Hampshire. An old post that I tweaked the colors a bit
This is my wife, Josephine, trying to get a kiss from a Reticulated Giraffe at the Miami Zoo. If I had waited a few seconds, I could have posted this in the HUMOR genre because as soon as I snapped this shot, the Giraffe stuck out his 15 inch tongue and she jumped back a few feet.
Photo taken with my old Minolta.

Great to hear you arrived well. A superb shot and a funny story behind.

Very well captured !!
Hilarious! 15" tongues are a bit much for a kiss!
Fun shot. I've found that when shooting people and critters sometime continuous shutter comes in handy.
A super fun shot especially the younger one looking on and taking it all in. Would love to have seen what you missed. Great to see Jo Dana.
LOL! Those giraffe tongues are really something. I love giraffes, and this shot is so wonderful! Hello to Jo!
When I saw for the very first time a giraffe tongue, I got scared. I thought she caught a snake or something! Excellent shot, Dana!
