When we visited Sydney in 2005 Brenda fell in love with Darla the Giraffe at the Taronga Zoo. They wouldn't let us feed her a carrot because she was misbehaving (sticking her tongue out was deemed bad manners). When we returned I got this pic with the Sydney skyline for a backdrop. Brenda thought it was fabulous.

John, this is absolute perfection in a photo. The giraffe, apparently swallowing a knife, manges to upstage an entire city,and he wears a building for a crown. He is fabulous - you are fabulous, the photo if fabulous.
