Alpacas and Llamas

I met a friend today for a wonderful lunch. She told me that The Great Midwest Alpaca Festival will be in town this weekend. Alpacas and llamas were among my favorite animals when I was little. Now, I also love them because they produce beautiful fibers for soft knitting yarns.

Time spent with alpacas and llamas also generates great material for the memory bank.

Children's Zoo, Brookfield Zoo, September 1965. I cannot distinguish whether these photos depict me feeding a baby llama or a baby alpaca.
