Camel racing has been a part of the UAE’s heritage for many decades. Camels were regarded as companions and cherished by the Bedouins. A major mode of transport and food, camels have always been close to the hearts of the native Emiratis. Even today, camels are a status symbol, the more of them you own the richer you are. In ancient UAE camel racing was a way of celebrating a special occasion or festival. Over the past 5 decades it has evolved in many ways to become one of the wealthiest sports in the world. Winners of the camel race are entitled to cash rewards of roughly 1 million USD. Due to this high demand, camels are crossbred to create a breed of racing camels that are trained thoroughly to battle it out on the racetrack. If you think that camels are limited to being riding attractions for tourists that can only move at a slow pace, watching one of these camel races will get you second guessing yourself. Camels are not just a cultural symbol of UAE they are also considered one of the most prized companions an Emirati can own.

For the first time since we have lived here a pair of Great Tits have nested in the bird's nest, and they have produced youngsters too. It has been fun watching the parents going to and fro collecting food for their young. Seems that the chicks have fledged, and along with the parents have left the nest. There was a worry as one seems to have left the nest early and was hopping about on the grass. It was looked after by the parent and seems to have gone with the rest.

They become character.

I missed the Galveston outing with the rest of the Assignment Houston group on June 24th, so I knew that Saturday the 30th was my last day to photograph Galveston in order to make the deadline.
My husband and cousin decided to do some pier fishing while I tried to get something worthwhile, so we packed up the car and made the drive thinking that if we got there around 6pm I could get some great daytime and sunset shots. As we were coming over the overpass into Galveston I opened the sunroof and stuck the camera out of the car to get shots of Moody Gardens. I pushed the shutter and nothing happened. My battery was still sitting on the charger at home.
CRAP.
I dropped them off at the pier and made the one and a half hour roundtrip home and back. I was not happy to say the least. This left me exactly 52 minutes before sunset to find some magic.
