Down by the Dead Sea last week, a herd of camels came through the area I was working. Now I didn’t realize it was a herd, I was busy trying to take this image of a couple. As I clicked then walked through another area, I was semi-surrounded by six lumbering camels heading to fresher grazing! They are REALLY BIG all up close and personal, camels are, scary big.
I tried to skip around them, but they don’t really move over to accommodate you. It was one of my weirder favorite Jordanian experiences, but provided the camel-keeper a laugh.

Wow! Pictures! You’re getting all fancy : )
Talk about a surreal experience! My seven year old daughter would have been chatting it up with the camel-keeper. If they offered to adopt her she might take them up on it. Believe it or not, at this very moment she is building a tent on the family room floor.
how classic, the American and the Camels, why don’t these things happen to me
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Desertmom, you who inspires me in the imagery department, not only did I take them and post, them, I FIXED them! Cropped, tinted and contrasted!!! Mish Ma3uul! Now I am beginning to get the fascination with it you share with the Pioneer Woman! Hey, you are also one of my top reasons to love Al Urdun, ukhti.
Joyce, don’t you love it when our kids identify with life here? My daughter would have tried to get the camel to follow her, like she does with her mule Valentine.
NasEr, LOL! I think it has do do with my regular prayer asking God to surprise me, then being on the lookout for how He will do it!
Oh, here I was thinking they were WILD camels.
Heh-heh, no, they are domesticated. But big as they are, domesticated or not, I will not be stepping in front of a herd again.
