Seeing a giraffe rising above the African landscape is always an impressive sight, but especially on mornings like this when such a huge creature suddenly appears out of all that green-season foliage. This species is a reticulated giraffe — less common than the Masai giraffe and known for its distinct geometric patterns. Photographed in Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 130mm) ISO 400, f/2.8 at 1/8000th of a second.
I don’t like Reticulated Giraffes. So pretentious. Who goes around putting an SAT word in front of their name? Do you call yourself a “Glabrous Sean Crane?” We get it Giraffe. You went to Brown. No one has the heart to tell they it’s the Ivy League’s Community College. So he just goes on being this insufferable spotted freak.
Fab image that takes in one of the most regal creatures that walks this world. Great setting – oh, don’t forget the birds that copped-a-squat on the giraffe’s neck. Each bird seems to have chosen its unique patch of brown to call its own.

Gorgeous – everything about it!
