This morning, driving down to the front gate on my way to work, I was comfronted, for the first time in weeks, by our whole herd of cows.
They were all over the road, just determined to wait until the last minute to skidaddle. I blame my concentration on the road by the fact that I almost missed what I saw next.
I glanced across to the big tree where some of the cows were munching on, and I said to myself, gee, thats a pretty big cow.
A second glance confirmed it, yes it was a big one.
The third glance told - no, its not a cow, its a camel.
My first reaction was not what you'd expect actually. I didn't think, gee - its a long way from the desert for a camel, or who brought their camel over and dumped it at our place. I've been fascinated by the camels that live on property and was tickled that one had found its way across the property (all 12000 acres of it) to our house.
As you can see, he was doing a pretty good job of blending in with the cows and we hope he sticks around, as it is bit of excitement, and really, how many people can say that they have a camel in their front yard?
Cows and camels. Don't tell the camel that it's not a cow.
