I acquired these two characters recently when I visited a restaurant called... you’ve guessed it, Giraffe! They sell the tastiest smoothies I’ve ever drunk and when you order one it comes with one of these natty giraffe stirrers. I didn’t need any encouragement to take them home with me and I knew they’d come in handy one day for a photo on a day when I’d run out of other photographic ideas!

Great shot. I've eaten in a Giraffe restarant but not triee their smoothies. Now I'm tempted. Lynda · 2011-05-16: 16:58

Super! Goldbrandi · 2011-05-16: 17:41

How cool is that Helen. I love smoothies and I would love to come over there just to get one of the stirrers! Great shot. Love how light has been conducted toward the legs! danrav · 2011-05-16: 18:22

Wow, I've never gotten a stirrer in a smoothie much less a really cool giraffe! Great idea for a shot! lookagain · 2011-05-16: 18:45

Great shot - love the colours and the composition. Jarvo · 2011-05-17: 04:34

Mad - fun photo! There's a Giraffe at an airport (one of the London ones, I think), and it's *horrible*. It looks promising, but is really 'yuk'. Eileen · 2011-05-17: 07:44

Oh, so cute and neat shot! Ryana · 2011-05-17: 12:34

they are so elegant! Eiram · 2011-05-18: 13:55

I laughed when I saw these ;-) I should save mine up for you and you can have a massive herd (erm, not that I eat at Giraffe that often. Honest!) Sharon · 2011-05-18: 17:17

Perhaps you should enter a new sport in the olympics - giraffe racing! A cute shot. busybee36 · 2011-05-21: 01:31

WOW, that`s super! wildduck · 2011-05-22: 04:40
