Alpaca

Yesterday I went over to a friend's house that is located in what is left of the country. With the city encroaching on us over the past few years and with an explosion of development over this last year, I try to take every opportunity that I can to relax in a quiet environment. The property that shares a boundary with my friend's property is home to about 50-75 goats, a few alpacas, and a buffalo. Not only did I find their presence enjoyable, I marveled over the fact that all of these animals get along so well together. One of the alpacas is especially friendly. He runs up to greet you when he sees you near the fence (and hopes you might feed him a handfull of grass). Here are some photos of "Mr. Alpaca."
