Regal Giraffe of Manyara

On our way out of the park we had a great viewing of a number of beautiful giraffe, all trekking near the shores of Lake Manyara. This regal mother and her baby were on their way to join the rest of the "herd" of dozens of these graceful creatures feeding among the trees.




They seemed just as curious about us as we were about them as we paused to admire them and snap their photos.




What a joy and privilege it is to travel to the remote areas and observe God's incredible creation in all its diversity and beauty. I am reminded of the account in Genesis where God looked upon all He had created and pronounced it "very good". . . our observation would add "truly amazing!"
