I had a theory that small mothers gave birth to small crias, regardless of the size of the dad, but Bella proves me wrong on this score, she is a small-ish llama while her daughters Machu Picchu and Ara are very big llamas - from big dads!!
Bella is an 'old girl' now, and enjoying her retirement.
Tikal's mum, the lovely Ara.
Mother and son, Tikal and Ara.
Aymara, looking very much like a leggy teenager.
Last treat time with Lorraine.
Machu Picchu with Salcantay behind.
MP and Aymara sharing farewells.
Salcantay is a lovely boy with the most amazing eye make up!
Does Tikal have a tear in his eye??
Aymara giving the landscape one last look.
Bye Mum!
In the garden at the moment the gladiolis are making a good show, but the wind is knocking them around and I've had to tie them up! Fantastic splurge of colour, love it!!
Kiki in her best, no, it wasn't me, I wasn't there pose!
The darling Misty, as stubborn and as beautiful as ever!
I was worried we'd have trouble telling Noisette (left) and Aymara (right) apart, but they are chalk and cheese - at least to me!! LOL!!
Bentley's lead and halter training sessions would go better without the peanut gallery… but some days, rent-a-crowd turn up uninvited!!
He is doing really well and walks nicely most days, stands to have lead and halter fitted and is for the most part a star pupil :)
In the home paddock Yolanda has a fortnight to go, and looks to have a large-ish cria on board, fingers crossed it all goes well and she has her first ever daughter!!
