Resort camels

I already posted a picture this morning, but I had to post this one too, I was so excited to see it! I happened to catch sight of a herd of camels strolling down the beach at our hotel. They were just so nonchalant as maybe 20 of them sauntered by, with guests running to photograph them (and me stuck on our balcony, so this is greatly cropped). Where else in the world would one see camels visiting a resort hotel?!

Another camel picture posted today:

They must have known you were there. It's nice to have 36 megapixels to crop from. V

This is so cool!! I'm so glad you looked out when you did to see such a sight. I love this image too...all the
green shapes, the palm trees and the sandy beach with the camels. Super!!

Wow! That is awesome!! It must be amazing to see. Did they have a handler or are they wild? V

LOVE it! And I see an adorable youngster in there too! Not an every day sight from a hotel balcony! V

One of those scenes that are rarely seen. In the right place at the right time. V

A fantastic setting for this relaxing ground and those camels make it complete. A great photo despite the distance.

If the camels weren't here I would swear this was Florida!
