How to Photograph a Llama

-
I think llamas are beautiful mystical creatures.They are a study in opposites. They look so delicate but are really sturdy. They look friendly at a distance but are really shy and stand-off-ish. That said, they put aside their demure, retiring attitudes when the cameras come out apparently. Llamas, at least some llamas, are media hams...


Hey there Thor and Mick. You boys are looking particularly handsome today!

Mick, since you're already standing up,
do you mind if I take your picture?
Just hold still for a minute...

 Oh. OK.  I guess a little closer wouldn't hurt . 
That's good...now just stand still.

Uh, now you're getting a little too close there, Mick. 
Can you please  back it up just a bit?


Uh, Mick...which part of stand still don't you understand?
Oh probably you don't speak English, being from South
America and all. How do you say 'stand still' in Spanish?
 OK-Now we have to have a serious talk about personal
space and boundary issues, Mick. Plus you need a tissue.
 No, you can't see me by looking in the lense.
 You do have beautiful eyes though.
 Back up now....that's it, that's a little better.
Don't you want the ladies to see what a handsome boy you are?

 I thought so.  You're a rock star, Mick!

When visiting a "fiber friend" who has various fiber animals, including a couple of "guard llama's", we found out that they, too, get up close and personal. George likes people so much that he is known as "Kissing George"......much to Don's dismay and first hand knowledge. :)

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Apple
