Lavender Park

A glorious day yesterday, sunshine and blue skies, perfect for my visit to Lavender Park alpaca stud.

I think black alpacas are just beautiful, the blue blacks make me dribble!! and to meet so many with lovely calm and friendly personalities is a treat.

This is little Amelie, a real sweetie, looks dark brown now, but the jury is still out and she might really be a black - wait and see.



This is the lovely Cushla.


Cushla has a good appetite and just look at the sheen on her face, definitely in the pink!



Cushla's daughter Magdalena, very nice cria.



My visit with the mums and babies was 'supervised' by the lovely Sparkles.  She's a blue silver tabby tortie SHD and (thus) has fantastic temperament (blue AND tortie genes) and a coat that is as slick (silver gene) as can be, a real purr bag, and thoroughly at  home walking amongst the alpacas.



Moving on to meet the studs, this is Brockie, Cushla's grandfather.



And this is Kok, Magdalena's dad.



And there I was admiring the elegant black boys when in strolled Rembrandt, he is so friendly, and plainly loves people and is very handsome.  Should have taken more care to shade the lens!! but you get the gist.



No show is complete without Punch, and thus once again Sparkle provided feline supervision from a suitable vantage point supplied FOC.



The roses in Ruth's garden were looking lovely - really will have to get to work and restore the rose garden here at Mt Tanga.  Here the simple elegance of old fashioned roses, masses of blooms :)





And the rose hips were also making a fabulous display :)


Excellent day, a feast for the eyes and good for the soul :)
