Alpacas: Part TWO !!

I am continuing today with another blogpost 

of the wonderful Alpacas

I had the pleasure to photograph at a local Alpaca Farm.

(If you missed the last post, please go back and see it below this one!)

Oh. My. 

I just want to squeeeeeeeze him!:

Just chillin'  out in the field:

(Did you notice how CLEAN the field looks? Alpacas poop in one place, away from where they eat.

Isn't that smart of them?)

Grazin' in the grass:

"Wait a minute!!" "Who IS that crazy lady on her belly in the field pointing that camera at us?"

Munching on (of all things:) fallen apple blossoms!:

I'll name him BUTTERSCOTCH when we get him home, ok honey???  

Ummmm..Honey???:

Somehow they reminded me of a mix of a llama, a camel and a sheep:

I wanted to scratch his soft little wavy neck!:

They got sick of us and went on about their munching business...

After ALL...

they had wool to grow, people!!!!!!

They sure grew on ME !!!

Alpacas!!: Part ONE

When I heard that our local Photography Club

was

planning a trip out to photograph Alpacas at an Alpaca farm...

I was thrilled.

I always heard they were gentle creatures 

and I heard they might spit at me.

I was willing to risk getting wet to be able to get up close and personal!

And??

I never got spit on and they were such fun and lovely creatures!

The farm hosts were kind enough to let us go inside their pens right close to them.

It was a gorgeous spring day and I had such a good time.

So stay tuned..this is the first of a four part series of photos of these fantastic animals.

They had sheared them prior to our arrival...so instead of fluffy sheep like fur,

they sported fresh shaved soft skin with short fur which I loved the texture and lines of!

Just LOOK at this face!!  Don't you just want to take one home?? :

White, brown and black!:

A dentist's dream!!!:

Such a cutie!!

Hello, Lover!!:

(They had colored collars on so the owner's could tell them apart when they were shaved).

Just strollin' the field by himself:

WHO!? ( I ask):

Couldn't love THIS goofy guy's face??:

(They had such personalities!!)

I just wanted to nuzzle this guy's ears!!:

I think these two were just looking for trouble!:

I just fell in LOVE right then and there...

Now you will have to suffer, because I took so many photos of them,

that I have three more blogposts coming to share them with you!!
