Cheese!


“Cheese!”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Did you know that giraffes don't have upper front teeth? They actually have the same number of teeth as we do, but most of their teeth are molars in the back of their mouth.

Backstory to this photo: My husband and I went to the Wild Animal Safari. Most of the animals roam freely on 500+ acres of land. The giraffes will come to your car to eat the special food that can be purchased in the gift shop.

On the second trip through the park, our SUV made a very loud explosion and steam poured out from under the hood. While we waited for help and get towed out of the park, I photographed the animals near my car. Why not make the best out of a bad situation!

We ended up buying a new car that day as my car was starting to break down too often because it was old and had about 240,000 miles on it.

Eye to Eye!

"Eye to Eye!"
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

I long to have the resources to travel the world taking photographs of nature and wildlife. It will happen one day, but until then, I am patient. I continue to photograph the beauty found in nature right here in Georgia, or wherever I do travel.

This photograph was taken at the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, Georgia. The animals roam freely and come to your car for a tasty bite of food. 

This giraffe walked up to my car and got so close I had to put on my micro lens.
My favorite part…..I can see my reflection in my eye!

Happy Fourth of July!

One day I will go on a photography safari to Africa. Until then, I will visit the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, Georgia. At least I can hand-feed and touch them here!

These leaves were barely out of reach for the giraffe at the Wild Animal Safari.
