Beautiful work Mark.

Giraffe thorn is another new one to me and I admit I read it as giraffe “horn” first time 😊😊.

Cheers
Ash

Had me stumped also, so I did a Goggle search on Giraffe thorns.....here's what it said:

Acacia Trees with Big Thorns: Giraffes favour eating the leaves and twigs of Acacia trees. This tree is armed with big, white, sharp thorns to protect its juicy leaves from attackers. Giraffe are not deterred by these thorns and they use their long manoeuvrable tongues and tough lips to get around them.
