You're a darling to always pop in. I enjoy your visits very much. Thanks:)<br /><br />Hi Carolyn;) It is quite amazing,isn't it? I was thrilled my husband took me out there to photograph them. It's good to see you again. <br /><br />Hi Ann;) Yes, I think so. These are wild, desert, feral camels. Seeing as we've just finished winter in the Northern Hemisiphere and there has been no rain in North Africa, the food is not too plentiful, I think. They do survive on these dry thorny bushes, though. You should see the cats I feed downstairs our courtyard. So wild that they only creep up to the food once I've left and SO thin. We've been feeding a stray dog since last August and if you saw him then, you'd have wept. He's been dewormed and fed daily since then and looks almost normal. Except he's wild and still very wary of humans. Thanks for popping in. I'll pop over to NZ shortly.<br /><br />Hi Ida, ja ek leer ook so maar Arabies het BAIE woorde wat soos Sesotho klink en omdat ek Afrikaans ken, maak dit die ggghhh woorde soveel makliker. Net gister toe se Sanaa vir my hoe my uitspraak baie goed is, en ek dink dis omdat ek Afrikaans kan praat. Ja, die assosiasie met die hemelshoog bo-op 'n kameel se rug is uitstekend. Ek doen dit gereeld. Debbie se jy, Carina en Carin was SO goed vir hulle. Kos geneem en haar sommer ondersteun soos sussies en ma's se sy. Dankie jy's 'n skat.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-19843345242822151522010-06-08T11:34:18.406+02:002010-06-08T11:34:18.406+02:00Leer jy ook deur assosiasie?
