A family in the green desert

This feels like a short story to me. The sound of the road, the music on the radio and the sudden blurry glimpse of the first camel in a small band of babies, parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. The drivers slows, then stops, takes in the scene, then life moves on.

UPDATE:  Alas.  Removed from youtube because of a terms of use violation.  It was lovely though.  Perhaps I’ll find another that captures that same sort of moment.   “Terms of use” has me wondering.  Was this actually from a movie?  Was one of my favorite “real life” moments not so real?  Ah, the modern condition.

Our old favorite

This is how it all began. She loved the foxes in her Baby Animals book and I thought I’d see if someone had shot some video and posted it on YouTube. Little did I know… Now, upon reflection, perhaps it’s not wise to encourage the hand-feeding of wildlife, but I still have a soft spot for this video of Vincente (Fox) and the guy who took the time to film him.
