 Taken at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Took the "photo caravan", basically about 12 of us were in the back of a canopied pick up truck, and drove around through the Asia and Africa exhibits. I'm actually feeding the Giraffe...holding the eucalyptus leaves in my left hand. I was hoping to get this shot when I heard we would be feeding giraffes. That tongue is crazy! This was taken in the morning ;)

Funny, fun shot. But other than the title, totally unconnected to morning.
