WW - Llama
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday
Hallo Llama! Wonderful shot Jams. Can't see a llama without thinking of the film NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Don't know if you've seen it, or understood it if you did, it's so very cultural specific. But, yes, Llamas (even beautifully photographed ones) make me think of that film. Cheers!
What wonderful dark eyes and long lashes he's got.
I was quite surprised to see this pop up - I just finished reading an Isabel Allende novel (Ines of My Soul) about the Spanish conquest of Chile this morning. In it she often mentioned llamas. When I saw yours I thought I'd imagined it LOL.
I love lamas ! they are so cute ! One here in blogworld had a lama breed farm and I became the godmother of one Lama called Pepper, lol ! Now she doesn't have it anymore and lives in New York !
A few decades ago, I went with my girlfriend to the zoo. The children's zoo (a petting zoo) had a llama that had, regrettably, learned to go behind an adult woman and pull on her bra strap through her blouse. We called it the Lecherous Llama.
nice shot of your Llama... thanks drop at my WW post.

ReplyDeleteI do have a fascination for Llamas, Alpachas, Vicunas and Guanacos.
