My favorite

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

I liked the white camels the best, and this was my favorite of the entire enormous souk. I would have taken it home if I could have ;-), but they told us these animals can cost $80,000 and more. I don’t know if they’re sold as livestock or as meat, but much to the Bedouins’ disappointment, we weren’t in the market for a camel, just camel pictures.

There is a story here just look at the camel in the background. I am sure it is a knowing smile of what your subject is up to. Beautiful image, Helen! BBV

A great close up, Helen. His nose looks so soft and strokeable. I love those huge liquid eyes.
Laughed at your "we weren’t in the market for a camel, just camel pictures."
Graeme07-Dec-2013 22:47
How sweet this shot is Helen..BV
Gary A. Rich (GRainelev)07-Dec-2013 19:35

Like this one:-)
pkocinski07-Dec-2013 12:13
It is cute in a way. Never seen a white camel - probably to keep them cooler.
Carl H. Johnson07-Dec-2013 12:12
Looks like he was trying to kiss you!!!~V~
MummaDragon07-Dec-2013 11:56
A hoot of a photo! A face that is almost kissable - but then, I've seen camel teeth, so maybe not. And camel breath?
Bill Miller07-Dec-2013 11:28
Such a lovely picture, and Sahraa will like having a four-legged companion in the house.
Mairéad07-Dec-2013 11:19
It certainly looks happy to pose for you.
Isabel Cutler07-Dec-2013 11:05
