Merry Christmas to all my Caedes friends and I hope you stay safe and have a wonderful holiday season and a great 2007. Life is a bit hectic these days so not much time for Caedes but I do try to stop in now and then and leave a comment or two. This photo was taken at Christmas on the Square in the small town of Bellville (in Dec05) when my friends had their llamas there for the little children to pet. We did it this year as well but there were not carolers :( Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. As always, I thank you. Anita

Hi Anita. Great capture and the people look like they are really having fun.
One of the elements that really helps set this image apart is the old carving of the Indian Chief. It really adds something extra to the photograph.

I found this first in the voting booth and loved it :) It's a wonderful Christmas scene and that everyone seems to be sincerely enjoying themselves makes the photo all the more fun :)PJ

Everything in this post is just marvelous Anita. I love the llama in this- it makes for quite an unexpected surprise. Everyone seems to be enjoying it though and their costumes look very authentic. Merry Christmas to you and your family also.

This is great Anita, a Christmas scene with a difference. The carolers all look so happy and the llama is looking very festive in his cover. My friend keeps alpacas (are they the same or similar?) I am gouing to suggest to her she dresses them for Christmas lol. The one in your picture must be very tame and well trained as nomally they are quite timid animals, and are known to be able to throw a massive spit if upset :)
Wonderful post, brought a smile to my morning, thank you :)

They remind me of when we used to carol when I was a kid. It's such an amazing time of year, being reminded and allowed to celebrate the birth of Jesus and His amazing gift of death and resurrection for us all. Thanks so much Anita.
