I think the poor giraffe was lost, but got all the snow she could eat!

I would appreciate it so much if you would tell me where you saw and photographed this Chris Williams giraffe. I too would love to take a photo of it for my collection. I love Chris’s talent and work.

There is an animal sculpture park on Phillips Avenue in Rockport. In winter, the animals are covered with tarps. The giraffe is by the side of the driveway directly across the street. It can be seen clearly from the street. The driveway is private.

Thank you for replying to my request for information. I never knew Chris had a sculpture animal park so near to where I live! I drive past Phillips Ave every time I go “down town” so will bring my “good” camera with me the next time I go in hopes of finding the Giraffe.

Thank you again for sharing your photo of Chris Williams’ bronze giraffe. I was able to locate it from your directions and now have a lovely photo of the giraffe for my portfolio! It was a fun photo shoot. Such a peaceful spot for the giraffe to live! Looking forward to the unwrapping of the other animal sculptures across the street. There are may people praying for you Fred as you are on our church prayer list! It was put on by Dr. Jeff Ahlin.
