Today is ABC Wednesday and our letter is " G ".
What else could I put but some pictures of the Giraffe we saw on our trip to Kenya?
The last two days of our trip were spent on a safari at the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
We stopped at a spot where a mother and two baby giraffe were ambling along.
The babies (really tall babies) were so curious and walked right up to our van.
They were so close we could have petted their noses. One of the giraffes hadn't lost its umbilical cord yet so we know they were quite young.
Don't you just love this expression? I guess he was as happy to see us as we were to see him.
For others posting the letter G just click on Mrs. Nesbitts link on my sidebar. I know you will gather some great G pictures.
Enlarging each photo will give you more detail.

I love their eyes, they always have this gentle outlook! Brilliant photos.
I adore giraffes, it's their eyelashes so long. No idea what has happened to linky
I agree with the first two commenters. Their eyes, their eyelashes, their faces are so dear. I would love to be able to reach out and pet one.
Wonderful post and beautiful photos. Ditto the comments from Mara and Babooshka.....What a great trip you must have had.
Fabulous shots! Just love the baby giraffes!
What a trip you are having!
These are wonderful photos! How exciting it must have been to see them up close. What I wouldn't give to have eyelashes like these:) Glad you were able to see some of the sights and enjoy yourselves while on your trip.
Beautiful photos , with such willing subjects...How wonderful to take that trip...
Oh, what a sweetie with those long eyelashes blinking at you...a flirt, I think.

I particular like the last one, he looks so cute with the background to give us the real Africa feeling. Thanks for sharing.
Just amazing, Sue!
I must say that the native looked very friendly!
Giraffes are such elegant creatures. Great choice for G! Have a great Wednesday!
Perfect G! Aren't they just gorgeous, those babies? You are so lucky to be able to see them so close!
Those photos are so "g"ood!
Especially like the third one -- must have been a great experience -- wish I had been there... Heck, I'd help 'em mud a hut if I could see wildlife like that along the way...
great giraffe pics
What a coincidence; my post today mentions a giraffe albeit a mythical one! Love your photos of these lovely creatures.
Yes Phowa, You're right its looks like the F was still on but The G is here today, great GIRAFFES!!! Lovely post...
Hatsjeeeeee!My G is the Griep (flu)
Hello How are you today?
I am sick and wish me well, I hope you stay healthy!
Greetings from JoAnn/Holland
These are marvelous photographs.

Wow...

The baby does look rather happy. Isn't it wonderful to be able to post photos of such lovely creatures that you actually saw with your own eyes, and snapped with your own camera. What awesome memories for you. I love your photos.
That last shot puts a smile on my face!
The third one down is my favorite. I love the tufts of hair on the top and the eyes are just beautiful with those silky lashes a movie star would covet. I had the joy of a giraffe in the zoo licking my hand, wow what a long wet tongue. I would love to see them in the wild like this. Thanks for the pics
Now that is one good G : ) I love it. Very beautiful! So fun! I am so thankful you were able to go on this wonderful mission trip! What a blessing.
Your baby giraffes are so cute. They have great expression. I love the eyelashes.
They have beautiful gentle faces. Are they gentle or are looks deceiving?
Now those are some sweet faces!
Such big eye lashes

Always love the smiling and long lash giraffes. I can't help but smile along.
He is one cute G.
I agree with all the above. Lovely photographs.
I keep forgetting about ABC Wednesday! I suppose that when I finally get my internet AND laptop in line, it'll be easier to post when I need to!
Your giraffes are splendid posts for this day. Love their faces, don't you?!
G is for Gorgeous Giraffes! How lucky you are to see these magnificent creatures in the wild. I wonder if it's usual for a mother to have TWO babies?
Oh, what photos and what wonderful experience! I like those baby giraffes very much; they are so cute. The one in the last photo even made me smile. :-)
just tooo cool!
Oh how I love giraffes. Just look at that adorable face. You are so lucky to have had this experience. I feel so lucky that you share.
Love your giraffes... They were my favorites when we visited Santa Barbara Zoo a while back.
