The Animals!

6/23/2005

Despite my camera’s best efforts at thwarting me from taking pictures while at the Wool Market in Estes on Saturday, I ended up with over 50 pictures before the end of the weekend (this included a fun round of mini golf and some arcade excitement with some good friends of ours on Saturday night)…

I think my favorite was the alpaca tent where I made several friends…

Available in color or black & white.

This Suri alpaca was so cute I just wanted to leap into his pen and give him a big hug!

Also available in color or black & white.

I also enjoyed the goat tent. There were many young kids, though they tended to be too active to capture well in the somewhat low light. But, some of the adults were lazy enough in the heat to capture on film…

I couldn’t resist this guy’s charms with the fun cockeyed ears!

This is available in black and white as shown, or also color.

Who could resist these curly locks? Not me!

Check out these massive horns!

Available in color only.

It was such a blast! So much better than some of the other hobby related conventions I’ve been too. I can’t wait to go back again next year, and perhaps I’ll make it to some of the other animal tents next time!

omg, so freakin’ cute! you and the woolies. I’m behind you on the spinning ring and thought I’d say hi. Your spinning looks great, it’s so excellent to see what other people are doing.

see ya around!

I’m really wishing we’d gone back for an entire fleece from that one booth with the amazing curly stuff.
