A Sea of Alpacas



The sweet alpacas have returned to the pasture that I often drive by.


The field no longer looks empty. Instead it's quite full.


Full of grace and beauty.


Full of poetry and motion.


They're like a song.


Soft and graceful.


And of perfect harmony.

I can't tell you how much their presence warms my heart.

P.S. Hubby took these pictures for me as I've been feeling a bit under the weather. xoxo

    Hi Trina,

    They look so soft, you can almost feel them.

    Feel better quick.

    They are so sweet...hubby did a wonderful job capturing their personalities as well as there unbelievable cuteness. They look so friendly...have you been able to get near them?

    Please feel better soon Trina...sending you some virtual chicken soup and get well cup cakes (they *do* exist).

    They really bring a serenity to the landscape, don't you think? I've always thought it would be great to have sheep grazing the nearby properties ~ so pretty and peaceful and little "green" lawn mowers, as well! I'm also under the weather, so hope that we BOTH are back to 100+% soon!

    These alpacas are just so cute! We have a few alpaca farms around here, and they produce some lovely yarn. Hope you are feeling better soon!

    Alpacas remind me of curious little children really. They are full of charm, even with all that hair going in every which direction. Hope you can enjoy a quiet and restful weekend on the mend. Trina, you inspired me yesterday to take some quiet time, while I had it, at my potting bench. Thank you for that and thank hubby for sharing this sweet song. Lisa

    I'm with Janet here dear Trina. You are very lucky Mr. Country Farmhouse has such good taste & knows what to photograph in your absence. MOTH would be taking pics of his belly-button fluff, thinking it would make great blog posting material!!!

    Hope you're feeling better now Trina..I love Alpacas too, we have lots of them here, for their wool and to protect our sheep from foxes. I've even been able to pat a few. They are wonderous creatures. Rachaelxx
