Do I Blend?? by hbdaly

Do I Blend??

An evening spent at the library while my youngest had his Cub Scout meeting in the craft room. I dared to venture out of the children's room and headed to the back where they keep the big books - the ones I'm always meaning to read... This sculpture of a giraffe sits in front of the back windows and I decided, for once, to take a closer look. This picture doesn't do it justice - it is pretty much life size, for a young giraffe anyway. And it has these wonderful long metal eyelashes that my picture completely fails to capture - even though that was exactly my plan when I stopped to get a shot. Ah well - I guess I'll never make it as a wildlife photographer, or a non-moving sculpture photographer for that matter.... :-}
I get supremely frustrated when trying to take photos like this because, no matter how hard I try, there is always something distracting in the background. I'm sorry not to see the eyelashes, but the ear is pretty cool.

He's really neat. Maybe we can't see the eyelashes, but I love his ears. Looks like an awesome library!

For what we are unable to see in this marvelous sculpture, imagine the pleasure it gave the sculptor as he-or-she made it! It's wonderful!
