the camel


This is a photo from a slide show featuring a day at the MIA with my family. My father in law is often the driving force of these sorts of expeditions. He wanted to look at the Chinese rooms. He found these great horse and camel sculptures.

The great thing about these big guys is how they seem to watch the whole room and take in all of the folks as we walk by. Not terribly realistic, they still have an animation to them that makes you keep checking. It is as if he walked in and posed, kind of like big bird trying to blend in with the rest of the museum objects. This guy was watching Neal while none of the rest of us were. One step ahead and we have to rely on a clay camel to spy for us parents.

Now I want to use this image for something. Don't know what yet. Perhaps a stuffed something or other?
