Photo of the Week – Portrait with a Llama

Portrait with a Llama

You all probably remember that my wife and I have two llamas. They are both males and their names are Placoon and Catazo. Every year, in this climate at least, llamas need to be sheared. The first year we had them, we just had them cut around their body, but left their legs and neck long. This year they were so shaggy, we decided to have them body clipped. The person who clipped them lives near our house, so after they were clipped, my wife brought them by the house so the neighbors can meet them. Oh yeah — I’m sure you figured this out, but they normally live at our friend’s farm. My wife took this nice portrait of Catazo and I while we were standing in the front yard. Isn’t he cute?
