Running of the Llamas


Saturday was also the Running of the Llamas event in Hammond, WI, and while not quite in town, it was only a handful of miles away. I have a ton more pictures of it on my Flickr, as it was a great time and lots of interesting things happening. Sadly i was starting to feel not so hot and had moved out of a good spot after the second heat of them running, and with so many people it was hard to get shots over their heads. So i headed home before the end. The llamas and alpacas were adorable, they reminded me of larger, strange versions of my pet rabbits. They even made similar sounds, a low humming type thing, or a sigh, hard to explain. I have a short video up on my flickr though, and if you listen you can hear a couple of them making it over the sounds of people talking.

Okay, I never expected to see llamas and alpacas in Wisconsin. Do you have lots of them?

Handsome portrait though.

Thanks for sharing this link, but unfortunately it seems to be offline... Does anybody have a mirror or another source? Please answer to my post if you do!

I would appreciate if a staff member here at riverfallsdailyphoto.blogspot.com could post it.

Thanks,

@Hilda, Some people have them on farms, but not a huge amount, most from this event came from all over. Some from different parts of the state, others from Canada, and some from Minnesota.
