One of my favorite things to do is take photos of the llamas at my friend's ranch. The next one is coming up in mid-October when we do the photoshoot for the annual Christmas photo. This one was taken at dusk and his ears are just right. That's the hardest part -- to get a shot when the ears are perfection. Today is llama day so both posts will be of these gentle animals. I've photographed their llamas for about 8 years now and have never had one spit so I feel fortunate ;) Enjoy and thanks for stopping by today. Anita

You're right - the ears are perfect! It's hard to imagine them spitting - he looks almost like a little puppy.

Wonderful portrait of this fellow Anita. Great expression in those eyes. Speaking of those eyes ... he knows you ... but not me, and the way he's looking at me right now ? You'll have to excuse me but I just put on a new shirt. I'm outta here ... I'm sure you understand.
