Thursday/ a totter of giraffes

IMG_8992 sm — The rhinoceros has a golden horn (maybe because the artist wanted to indicate its value to poachers?), but I like the bicycle best.

IMG_4411 sm — Some (or any one) of these giraffes are going to be difficult to carry onto an airplane! And a collection of giraffes is .. what? A ‘totter’ of giraffes sounds good to me (I found the term on line). ‘Totter’ means a feeble or unsteady gait.

I drove my mom out to Stellenbosch today and as usual we checked out the art shops that line Plein Street. It was a beautiful and mild late winter day, but there are not a lot of tourists to be seen this time of year.
