A CAMEL in Courthous Park!




Earlier this week I was on my way to a Luna County Fiber Arts meeting when I spied a CAMEL in Courthouse Park. Even in Deming a camel in town is unusual. I grabbed my camera and went to investigate, the fiber arts could wait.

The camel was part of a Petting Zoo that was traveling from a gig in California to their home in Kansas. Deming looked like a prosperous little town so they stopped, got the proper permits and put up their tent for a few days. I caught them just as they were unloading the animals.

I could tell just by looking at the animals that they were well taken care of: they were happy, gentle, and clean. Hmmmm – I wonder if I could borrow a child and go back to pet them?
