Grass Cutting! (PiP) HWW!

Like the old shed more not less the image. HWW. Have a great day

Thank you very much Dinesh.
HWW and enjoy the rest of your day

Not a species I see often (or ever). I really like the close-up version.

Thank you very much Roland. I used to love to see the proper Highland cows on our trips to Scotland but strangely on the last couple of visits we have seen more alpacas than Highland cows!!

Enjoy the rest of your day

Herrliche Tiere - warme Pullover! :-) HWW

:-))) No doubt!!

Many thanks Lothar

HWW

LOVE THEM !

THEY ARE SOMETIMES IN WITH THE CATTLE HERE AS GUARDIANS

Thank you very much Pam.

They are adorable animals and strangely we have seen more alpacas on this visit to Scotland than we have Highland cows!!

I did not realise you have them over there as guardians of the cattle. It really surprised me as they seem such gentle animals.

Espectacular

Many thanks Juan. Really appreciated

I'd like to add that I'd highly recommend these cute alpacas as lawn-mowers. Away with conventional lawn-mowers, bring in the alpacas! ;-)

HAW (Happy Alpaca Wednesday), Carol! :-D

Thank you very much Edna. They are really cute - and you can't cuddle a conventional lawn mower!!

HAW and keep smiling!

A lovely animal double portrait. Carol. I often see alpacas on the hillside, when I am travelling to Campbeltown. All the best, Joe.

Thank you very much Joe. Yes we also saw quite a number of them on this visit. Strangely we saw more alpacas than Highland cows which seems a little bizarre.

Best wishes Carol

Une vue bien sympathique avec ces adorables peluches dans un joli décor !
Bon mercredi, Carol ! HWW !

Thank you very much Henri. Well they must be stuffed on all that grass they are eating! It seems a little surreal seeing so many of them in Scotland when we actually didn't see many Highland cows at all

HWW

Lovely animal picture Caro.
hWW

Thank you very much Jaap. They must thrive in the Scottish weather as there are quite a number of them there now

HWW

I adore them! HWW, Carol!

Thank you very much Stephan. So do I!!

HWW

So beautiful animals! HWW Carol!

Thank you vey much Karsten. They are adorable. Often they even seem to be smiling!!
HWW

I could do with them in my garden Carol. The grass is growing so quickly!
Lovely animals and beautifully captured. HWW.

Thank you very much Rosa. I am sure they would be happy to oblige!!
They always seem so gently and cuddly. I love alpacas and there are so many of them in Scotland it seems. By contrast we saw hardly any proper Highland cows.

Schöne Tiere - schönes Bild! Wünsche dir einen guten Tag!

Thank you very much. Really appreciated. I like alpacas too, - they are very sweet.
Enjoy the rest of your week

Alpacas, are beautiful animals

Thank you very much Reinhard. I think so too!

HWW; a beautiful image!

Thank you very much Annemarie.
HWW

Well suited to the Scottish climate, Two lovely images HWW

I imagine they must be Roger. Many thanks
HWW

Almost silent way to have it done ! HWW Carol

Yes and the lawn mower is nowhere near as cute!!!!
HWW Isabel

I see a few of these nowadays. Beats a lawn-mower I suppose. Well done.

HWW, enjoy the day. Herb

Thank you Herb. We saw more alpacas on this trip than Highland cows surprisingly!
HWW and have a good evening

Schön, dass Du die flauschigen Rasenmäher hier zeigst Carol :))

HWW

Die Frisuren der Alpacas sind lustig! HWW!

Thank you very much Wilhelm. Yes they are and I love thei cute little faces that seem to smile at you!

HWW

Even to this day, I can't persuade my parents that there is an alpaca farm over the hill from where they live. I first saw them in a field on a walk in about 2009 and didn't have a camera then. I haven't walked that way since then so I can't provide photographic evidence but I know the alpaca farm is still there! A fine shot and PiPs!"

Thank you very much Andy. Yes they seem to be popular in a lot of places. It still feels a little surreal to me seeing so many of them in Scotland, - in fact we saw more alpacas than Highland cows!!! I am sure there was one fairly local to us that I remember seeing, on the Quantocks from memory, but that was a while ago so I don't know if it is still there.

Maybe when you come back you could make a little detour and get some photos to show your parents. Even if they don't need the evidence they will, I am sure, appreciate how cute they are!!

I won't get that opportunity, Carol. When I'm there it's full on carer duties, my mum because she has rapidly worsening dementia and my Dad because he is totally immobile now. My sister says that in Spain they would both have long been institutionalised. The British way of keeping people in their homes as long as possible, is better imho.

Oh Andy, I am so sorrry. I did not realise things were that bad. I know how heartbreaking dementia is as my dad had it, but having both parents to care for must be really difficult.
Yes it is good for them to be in ther own home as long as possible, but being able to share the care is important as you need to take care of yourself as well, especially as you have your own health issues. I hope you will be able to rest up a little now knowing your sister is there to look after your parents Thinking of you

Hi Carol
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice and friendly looking animals. There is a farm close to me that breeds llamas, and you can take them for a walk through the woods.
Best Wishes, HWW, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Thank you very much Peter. They are very cute.

That sounds amazing. What a lovely idea.

HWW. Enjoy your day. Best wishes Carol

HWW, Carol.
That way you keep a well-trimmed lawn.

Thank you very much Paulo. You do indeed, plus they are prettier than a lawnmower!!

Enjoy the rest of your week

Beautiful picture.
They look friendly and/but inquisitive...

Thank you very much Jose. They are very cute, and yes, they do seem inquisitive and they look as if they are smiling.

Lovely shots, Carol!
Alpacas are wonderful animals in so many ways.

Thank you very much * ઇઉ *. They are beautiful animals. I love their big eyes and cute smiley faces!! What surprised me was the number of alpacas we saw in Scotland on our trip and yet we saw very few Highland cows. Alpacas must be happy in the Scottish climate.

Enjoy the rest of your week

The very best weed eater and not noisy at all in addition !

Thank you very much Leopold, and also for your group invitations. Much appreciated.
Quieter, much prettier and no electricity needed!!!

Have a great day

Trop mignon une photo bien réussi agréable journée.

Thank you very much Patrick. I think they are very cute too!

Have a great day

Thank you very much dear Angelique. I love them too, - they have such adorable faces.
Kisses.

Lovely images, Carol, and a great way to get rid of the grass.

Thank you very much George. It is!! They are way more fun thatn a conventional lawnmower!

Superbe photo. Bonne soirée. Nicole .
