Llama

Llama, llama ding dong!
We were running errands the other morning in a steady rain, flying down Flaggy Meadow Road, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw this scene staring back at me. I don't often use this word, but I think cute fits here. Do you? I, also, don't keep track of these things, but I hear more and more llamas are showing up in the state. I use to just see them at 'petting zoos', but now you can drive by fields of them grazing.
All for their wolly, bully.
There, two musical references in one short post.
Sam the Sham would be so proud, I bet.

  1. A rather imperious-looking llama, don't you think? They all seem to look that way, though.

  2. I love the composition and vibrant colors in this photo! What you have here is actually another member of the Camelid family, an Alpaca. He/she is just a smaller cousin of the Llama, Camel, and more.

  3. Why do Llama's have such long necks? Because their head is a long way from their feet!
    Sorry.

  5. Good mornin'! BTW, Lowell does not run. He does not run 1/2 marathons. Lois runs. Marathons and 1/2 marathons. Well, she used to. Now she just runs - 5 miles every other day.

    Also, I don't think this is a llama. I know this 'cause I was walking by the other day and heard someone ask of it, "Como se llama?"

    And it replied, "No, señor. Me llamo es alpaca?"

    Comprende?

  13. Llamas are great for scaring coyotes away, that's likely why you are seeing more of them. :)

  18. We have them here, too. When I was a kid and went to ranch camp for the summer, no one wanted to tend the llamas, because they spit green juice, and have a dead aim.

    Steady rain here but no llamas.

  20. In the red barn, especially cute.

    I had to feed a few llamas at Heifer Ranch for years but I never grew to trust or like them. Once I was nice and brought a carrot to Carrie; the llama chewed it up and spit in my eye.
