Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 15 October 2007 in Animal & Insect.
Thought I'd start the week off with a giggle!! This llama belongs to our friends in Victoria (they have a llama farm/bed and breakfast).
You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.
I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

Haha, what a great photo of a llama. For a moment there, it looks almost like some sort of strange gorilla/rabbit animal with a strange body behind it, before I realized I was looking at the nose of the llama.

Thats one ugly critter. Very funny, though I wouldn't like to get to close to this Llama, it looks a bit scary.

@Richard_Irwin: He's only ugly 'cause he has his ears down... doesn't like cameras in his face!! LOL This guy is very friendly... they're such delightful creatures. Thanks Richard.. !!! ;-)

Very funny shot - I really like the way you got up close and personal.

@Ian Bramham: I get up close and personal every chance I get with these guys!! LOL They really are such wonderfu creatures... and when you "nose" them (it's how you say hello... like the Inuit you rub noses) it's such a peaceful feeling. Glad you got a giggle Ian!!

Wow, must be nice for the llamas...is there a market there for bed/breakfasts for llamas? Just joking! Nice shot! Very sharp and honestly, that's closer than I'd want to be! =-)

The Amazing Kevin from Cleverville, Australia
I'm impressed by your ability to get the beast's mouth in focus. The blurred extremities really add to the sharpness and detail of the llama's mouth/teeth. Love your work, A. :)

This is a hilarious shot Amy! He actually looks kinda docile - teeth an' all! But what happened to his top set! Don't they have any? ;-D
PS thanks for your post on my Thanksgiving Turkey! Doing a catch up again - but I always have to go back and look at a few of your photos!

What a fascinating animal portrait! I can't help thinking: what a luck that (s)he didn't spit otherwise the picture would be blurred :), now one can see the spitting instrument perfectly!
