Dromedary Delight

How surprising and uplifting it was to encounter this rescue camel enjoying a warm spring day at a local farm.

This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well. All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.

Not something you see every day! Is it on a private farm?

Yes, it is on a private farm that also encourages people to roam around and see the animals. They have a farm store on the site as well.

What’s this guy doing there in the cold? The last I saw one was in Israel. Excellent photos, Julie. 🙂

Israel? You surely get around, H.j. 😉 This camel lives at a farm a few miles from here. The farm is the former site of a Heifer International Educational livestock farm, where they had a rescue camel for years. The camel made for very interesting living nativities each Christmas! 😉
