Giraffe Mother with her Calf

The first time, I went to Kenya, I worked on giraffe... And while recording them and collecting data, we found a lone giraffe that was limping and seemed really distressed... We decided not to record her markings that day for we didn't want to intrude into her privacy... Good thing we moved away for we saw her the next day with a calf... She was at that time, in labour seemingly... But what a miracle it seemed like... Seeing them both together the next day... I'm grateful for nature to be witnessing such miracles... Painted now from my memory of that day... I did look up some giraffe images on Google for reference, as it was slightly difficult for me to remember and visualise their markings and where they start from... ❤️ I decided to name her asante' (thank you in Swahili)
