 So we were on our way to a camp when SFC K (who drives like a maniac) suddenly turns off the road and starts driving out into the nothingness that is the desert in that part of Kuwait. He'd spotted this sheepherder and his flock and knew I'd want pictures. There was a big water truck, a pickup, three gentlemen, two donkeys, two dogs, and sheep. And the sand was blowing like, well, sand. Quite the interesting adventure. SFC K got out and took the gentlemen cold bottled water (an appreciated gesture) then asked if I could take pictures - and they said I could.

Ohmygoodness! I LOVE this photo! In itself, it's beautiful with the simple minimalistic horizon and land, but there's something about that old truck in the desert of such a harsh place that contrasts those adorable innocent animals to make quite the touching photo.

Yeah. . .think this one better go straight to my fav's :)

Deb, looks like the water truck is going to go anywhere soon. At least not until the goats cool off :)
