What an excellent post. Especially for a minnow! Not only is it great little story, but it is also well-presented and very well-written. With wonderful photos, too.

I'm impressed by some of your phrasings in particular; such as caramel camel  and pounds of purest perplexity.   Caramel camel  alone is the work of a true wordsmith.

One item of advice today. It will help you format your post, to make it more attractive and maybe even a little more easy-to-read.

Before you start inputting your text or photos into the "Write your story"  box, you should click where it says "Editor"  , above the top-right corner of the box. Then, first input all your TEXT ONLY. With the Editor function, you will be able to format with BOLD, ITALICS, various HEADING SIZES, and more.

After you have input and formatted all your text, then you can click where it says "Markdown", and then you can put in your photos, images, or links (anything in HTML).

Hope this helps.
