Smile

Back to the camels at Birubi again now, taken on Sunday.

As you know I often take photos of the camels at a distance as they give rides to tourists along the beach, but on Sunday I got close up and took a few photos. I will post some over the next couple of days.

I love how this one is smiling for the camera.

I love camels but David doesn't share my interest in them and thinks they are smelly creatures, but I think they are gorgeous.

How can you not love a smile like this, ha ha

[Jen]

Amazing shot!

[Krista Mae]

I think they like you too! You are brave to get closer to take your photos! I look forward to seeing more. Thanks Babs!

[Paula Fontanini]

What a great big fantastic smile he put on just for you! FAV 4 sure! :)

[Rick]

Haha! That is some smile. Great shot.

[Bill]

This shot made me smile.

[gloria jones]

Super close up

[eDorre]

Made me giggle! Can't wait to see more

[Yao RL]

I do smile back.

[Diana]

A stunning close up, I love your beautiful camel shots!

[Bec]

Ha ha ha! What an expression Babs. Great capture. I’m not exactly at one with camels after one took a sizeable chunk of hair in the UAE a few years back, but I do love a great shot.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh wow great detail - but no way what is that nailed into the nose? I can't believe this is allowed in Australia.

[Brian]

Smiley

[Babs]

@koalagardens It is a nose peg and can be used to train young camels. I don't think they are used now as you will see there is no string attached to the peg.

@walksnaplove Oh dear that could be painful. They can be rather skittish on occasion, but luckily, I have never seen a vicious camel at Birubi.

[Kathy A]

Only a mother could love that face

[Boxplayer]

He's great, what teeth

[Casablanca]

A dentist poster boy!

[Issi Bannerman]

What a great face!

[Wylie]

great shot Babs.

[Joan Robillard]

What a stellar close up.

[Susan Wakely]

Maybe a scale and polish wouldn’t go amiss.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Aaw! Babs - such a gorgeous close-up ! Such a superior look , and his teeth are not to bad either ! fav

[Dione Giorgio]

And he has a nice beard too. Fabulous close up shot.

[Peter]

Not the prettiest animal but beautifully captured in lovely detail Babs:)

[4rky]

That's a great smile :)

[Annie D]

hahahaha when he/she filled the screen I giggled

[Mags]

LOL! Great closeup and capture of this creature's smile.

[Linda Godwin]

nice close up and showing its good teeth. Once they place the nose peg apparently its not removed?

[Lou Ann]

I love this! He’s terrific, really. Of course I can’t smell him, ha.

[Merrelyn]

I'm with you Babs. I think that they have such delightfully expressive faces.

[Peter Dulis]

LOL-good one :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Excellent capture.

[Bobbi C]

Great shot, I just love this!

[Kate]

Love it! Makes me think of Wilbur, the talking horse

[L. H.]

Camels usually have long eyelashes which I like. And those chompy teeth….great character picture.

[Junan Heath]

Fantastic shot!

[Olwynne]

Definitely smiling for you. This is a great shot

[Cathy 💫]

Haha this is brilliant, looks like his trying to smile for you. Great focus

[Pat Knowles]

He’s definitely smiling. Amazing how you can get so close to them & they are just walking around.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Helen Jane]

those camel teeth look enormous. He does look quite cheery.

[Korcsog Károly]

Super!

[Judith Johnson]

Brilliant close-up and smile! I love camels!

[Rob Z]

Good grief Babs - he's got his eye on you. They always seem a little unreliable - will he or won't he spit?! But, what a superb shot!

[Jeremy Cross]

Not sure about gorgeous but great close up

[Renee Salamon]

Fantastic close up and some smile

[KV]

Love the grin!

He was one of 12 camels in the camel train at Birubi. He wasn't smelly Lou Ann. I think all the camels are well cared for and none of them were aggressive, they were very well behaved. and sat quietly while the people got on and off. They were all patient.

The thing I love about camels is they always look superior. ha ha

[Islandgirl]

Haha a face only a mother can love!

[amyK]
