On the way home today















On the way home today our driver took a short cut to our apartment complex and guess what I ran into. A group of camels. There must have been ten of them and they had no shepherd. They were walking around insouciantly (that's right), eating trees. Luckily, this time I had Kristina's camera with me. I asked our driver if they were mean or if they spit like in the books. He looked at me like I was an idiot (he does that a lot), and then I got out of the car and took some pictures. These things were huge. In the last picture, the one one where the camel is eating a tree (from the top of the tree!), I climbed a huge mound to get at face level with it. In the third picture, the camel (same one, same tree) is in front of the building next to our apartment building. I think the word I am looking for is juxtaposition.

Nice use of the word insouciantly.

Word power man...word power.

I read that word in a book once and I have been wanting to use it ever since Missy.
