Curious llama (or Nosey alpaca)
Tall soft woolly elegance
Smirking fluffy toy

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Many llamas/alpacas watching me! (Yes! They are actually alpacas. But not all are short hairs like these! Some alpacas have very long hair. There are 2 major alpaca farms ~ that I know of ~ on the Mornington Peninsula. This farm (Alpacas on the Hill) at Red Hill is quite a large farm on rolling hillside with distant views to Westernport Bay. Technically, there is a difference between llamas and alpacas. For starters, llamas rarely weigh less than 110kg while alpacas rarely weight over 100kg. More information on the differences can be found here. )

For a long time
I have wanted
A pic of
Llamas ~
Especially the beautiful llamas at
Red Hill
~
Finally
I noticed
They had wandered down
Their hillside property
Fairly close to their fence ~
I had a chance
~
I begged the streets to
Get close ~
Closer
~
At last
As rain began to fall
Yet again
I found
A muddy spot
Parked the car
At some odd angle
Dived out and
Sank deeper and deeper in
Mud
~
Every excited step
Shook and shook with
Cold ~
But I wanted that pic ~
Won't the camera zoom in further?
I'm frozen
So frozen ~
The rain will tumble
Any minute
Must get that pic
Any pic of llamas
~
CLICK!
~
Squelching "run" to the car
And a peek at my prize!
There!
I think you can tell they are llamas!
They look so nonchalant
So peaceful!
And they didn't even notice me!
Sighhhh
