| The label says "Tall Horse", but I know better. It's a giraffe, all right. (And yes, it is also wine. Haven't tasted it [yet]) |
 |
| Yes, that is my finger in front of the lens... Above it, however, is a girafflag. Or banneraffe. What I want to know, though, is where "giraffe1" is..? |
 |
| A nanako point is, apparently, where arrogant giraffes hang out. |
 |
| From a sign. Somewhere. For something. Probably not giraffe-related. |
 |
| Shinjuku-giraffe. |
 |
| And of course this one, that I have posted earlier. My suggestion was that it was an ad for a giraffe grooming salon, but of course my readers had many more creative ideas. Giraffe clothing store? Giraffe tailor shop? Or my favourite - the giraffe is getting mugged! (Poor giraffe, though it is looking reasonably happy...) |

*If I copied the proper katakana (and you never know - Japanese websites can be tricksy...), キリン means "giraffe" in Japanese. It struck me that it's been a while since I've "giraffed around the world" like I used to, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I actually started this post waaaay back in March, but then it didn't feel right to post it after I went home after the quake. Now that I am back, however, it feels more appropriate.
Also, if you read Japanese, and you notice that I didn't copy the proper katakana, I would greatly appreciate if you tell me that I managed to write a blog post about "title" or "heading" or whatever the Japanese Wikipedia page about giraffes is called...

I like the pictures. Giraffes are cool.
I have a photo of a dead giraffe on one of my blogs. Probably not a good thing to show you though. :D
They are beautiful animals. :)
Japanese giraffes! How sweet. Are they following you???

I used to know a little Japanese, but not enough to help you now!
So many cute giraffes! I should make a point of doing some giraffe hunting just for you! I'll bet once I start looking for them, I'll see them everywhere. In fact, as I am looking out my window right now, the big cranes they use to lift cargo off the ships across the harbour kinda look like big, giant,red giraffes! - G
Cool pictures. The heading looks like 3 squares on my screen. I probably don't have the right mapping of the symbols.
Cold As Heaven
Love the pictures and a great post.
Yvonne.
I think I've told you that I have this thing for giraffes myself, so this post was perfect! I love the one with the mother and baby.
:)
I like your portmanteau words. And everyone else who's said it before me is right- the images are way cool.
I like giraffes. Such an awkward looking animal.
