Went to the zoo on July 4th. It was very hot and most of the animals were hiding. We treked up to the giraffe stand and they were THERE. I fumbled with my camera and was only inches away from this one looking for a treat. Completely startled me and was an unplanned shot. Happenstance shots are often among my favorites. This shot is not cropped.
