This past Saturday afternoon I finally got to have a "Giraffe Encounter" at the Denver Zoo. As faithful readers will remember, I tried to have a giraffe encounter a few weeks ago and arrived a few minutes too late. Giraffes can only take so many encounters with humans before they go bonkers. In any case, I was damn lucky to get the above photograph. There are only very specific feeding times, and if you don't have food for them, the giraffes won't go anywhere near you. Simon and Garfunkel had it right when they sang about giraffes being insincere in their song At the Zoo.
