This one looks a bit bedraggled, maybe because it is lonely, plus it looks deep in thought, whatever it is it is certainly got a lovely place to put thoughts together, it reminds me of the hills are alive with the sound of music, I wouldn't mind being there myself, and we could all put the are thoughts together. A big thank you for this one.
Gosh, these critters must really be good at handling altitude. I didn't feel well at the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado. It was a fun adventure, anyhow.
I have just gotten into alpacas - smaller version of llamas. I have been very surprised at their gentle natures. They still spit, but at each other! Not at me (yet). I am told that this is the "unscientific" way to tell that the girls are pregnant...hope so!
Yes, they spit, with great accuracy, too. Good pack animals, though - they're used here in Alaska on hunts.

They're not native, of course, but moose don't make good pack animals, especially when you're hunting them! Come to Alaska, but come about June 20 - July 20 for the best weather and to assure that all of our wonderful places are open. Most parks and such are closed in winter due to severe weather. To really see everything, come up by ship, then take the train to Denali Park and Fairbanks. I've lived here 30 years and still haven't seen everything I want to - maybe 10% is all, and we're out and about a lot.

Wow it seems if you live some where you tend to put off seeing things because the day to day things take up lots of your time

Hi Aknan, come to beaut Queensland, Australia! The Sunshine State! Except for now, mid-summer, when we're having a low weather depression which is blowing like a gale all day & tons of rain! Really frustrating day, but at least we haven't lost power (yet! ). Ususally hot & sunny & lovely! Keep warm there in Alaska! Cheers!

Would love to, jaffacat! It's on our bucket list, but right now, we can't be away from the office more than a week and that's just not enough time to see all we want to see!

That, and in Alaska, travel to remote areas (anyplace off the road system, which is 90% of the state! ) Is very expensive and difficult. We've been weathered in several times.
