Filling the photography obligations

It has been a beautiful sunny weekend here in Cumbia, as it has been throughout the UK. With some photo obligations to fill we really couldn't make any excuses about the weather; the wind or the rain; any issues were going to be down to the handler and/or the photographer.

Firstly we thought it was high time we got that photo of St. Patrick in his ribbons, as promised for Sharon at Waradene Alpacas in Australia. We didn't quite manage a one with all four legs on the ground, but a much better attempt than last time:


Waradene St. Patrick of EPC.

On the subject of ribbons; many congratulations to the mighty Patou Alpacas on a fantastic SWAG show.  Glad I didn't set any challenges there Mark!

The second photography challenge was to get a photo of the new sign with some alpacas in the background, for the blacksmith who created it. We did actually manage to get one of the sign with head shots and no Craig, but I rather liked this one.


Craig, the sign, St. Patrick and Almost Illegal.

The final challenge was to try to get a photograph for the side of our new van (if we decide to use a photo...jury still out). This one of St. Patrick with Anzac Almost Illegal (Almo) is definitely one of the contenders.

Short blog as it really is BBQ weather...can't believe this is April...maybe we should consider early matings after all!

  5. What splendid chaps, especially that handsome St Patrick...won't show Chica though....she'd definately have her eye on him, as she fancies trying for a fawn this time! He'd make a great pin-up for her "bedroom" wall though, just to help get her in the mood for love as she took a little encouragement last time!
