Twiga Rafiki Reporting from Chicago

What can I, Twiga Rafiki originally of Tanzania, say? After some sunny days and what we thought would be spring weather, today we all woke up to this wintry scene. While I like Chicago a LOT, I have to admit that this made me wish a bit for my homeland. It is plenty warm inside, fortunately.

Oh my- as we say, "Hang in there Twiga Rafiki- the sun will come out tomorrow" and winter will eventually fade away. You will enjoy our Summers!

[Shanne]

I wondered if you'd be commenting on the return of snowy weather. Sorry winter has decided to return

[Tunia McClure]

glad to see the giraffe still has his spot by the window

[Dianne]

A gorgeous image and commentary. Fav

[Beryl Lloyd]

Aaaaw , bless !! poor Twiga Rafika must yearn for the warm sunshine of his homeland when the weather returns to a miserable wintery scene !

[Debra Farrington]

Very cute!

[Yao RL]

Home - the sweet place to be inside.

[Mallory]

Great shot! :)

[Jane Pittenger]

Poor thing

[Lou Ann]

Well I thought about Twiga when I saw your lovely post about the impending storm. Surely, surely, the sun will come out tomorrow. 😊

[Milanie]

He's wondering what you've brought him to!

[Walks @ 7]

Hopefully May flowers will compensate for this storm. Do very much like the simplicity, like the frost juxtaposed with Twiga Rafiki.

Love it -oh the adventures Twiga will have - he does have a fabulous view for all seasons -the stories he will tell

[Pam Knowler]

Where have you brought me to? I am a prisoner looking out on a cold world! Help! At least it’s warm in here! Great image - he looks home sick for the warmth and sunshine of his country!

[eDorre]

Love this POV!

[Marnie]

Oh dear, turn up the heating.

[Rob Z]

I can hear him talking!! You have caught him perfectly!

[Judith Johnson]

He's obviously feeling the cold too!

[Babs]

Poor Twiga doesn't look too impressed with the rain, maybe get him an umbrella.

[Denise Wood]

Such creative narrative to accompany your great shot!

Awwwww

[Junko Y]

LOVE the image, LOVE your narrative.

[Vesna]

Interesting photo.

[Angela]

Haha! Love your statue against the rainy window. Great to have the back of him for a story. Ive just done the same with a war memorial on my American trip. Took lots of photos head on but the one of the back of a memorial figure’s head worked best for me. Great story for your boy!

[Helen Jane]

Oh I can sympathise!

[Angelika van Rooyen]

He looks homesick, great image!
