Love the proverbs! my favorite would be the camels nose in tent! Great photos!
A truly awesome Camels photo and the proverbs are very interesting! Nice combination!
I count 10 camels... collectively does that qualify as a half-pack of camels? ;-)

Yes, I guess it does. Btw in a recent tobacco industry survey found that 98% of all men that use camels still prefer women.
I love the way the environment influences quotes.
Haha, my mother has told me several times about tying the camel though we don't have camels here. But I guess religion does influence the way we use quotes too.
