The Unruly Tongue - Giraffe Series

If a picture is worth a thousand words...

Then this drawing must be worth millions!

Amber, a friend of mine who also happens to be the owner of A Shade Better Than Stick Figures, was in search of inspiration. I sent her the first in a series of giraffe photos entitled "Unruly Tongue" and just look what she did with it! Beautiful.

"Unruly Tongue" is photo documentation that perhaps giraffes are not necessarily born knowing what to do with those monster tongues of theirs. Or, photo documentation of a really bored giraffe. Probably the later.

A Rainy Evening at the Nasher

After the Dallas World aquarium, we ventured over to the Nasher for their "Free Thursdays in July" promotion. None of us had ever been, and it sounded like a fun way to spend the evening. Too bad it started raining on the way over there.

We walked around the inside of the museum, enjoying the sculptures and watching an art class sketch them for an assignment. It was a little while before it was dry enough to hang out outside and enjoy the live music and drinks.

Despite the drizzle, it was really nice. If you live in Dallas, and are looking for a nice place to chill for the evening, I would definitely check it out.

Phew, I fell behind on the picture posting because I was focusing on family and the job. But, the family is back in Holland these days and work has slowed down, which means I'll finally have time to go through some of these shots.

The Dallas Aquarium is a familiar sight for me, because I used to work just across the street. I had a membership and would spend many of my lunches taking pictures and just watching the animals. I've been there a hundred times, but it never ceases to amaze and amuse me. The place is gorgeous; they have added new sections and done a lot of renovation since I have been there.

If you click the image above, you'll go to my Flickr photostream for "Animals" and you can see of the images there. Though, I did post a few under floral as well. Disorganized in the sake of being organized... Maybe it will all make sense in the end.
