Where did you meet this handsome ungulate? I met one once who was a guard llama for a herd of alpacas.

[Plant Woman]

I went to a lavender festival over the weekend and they had them on display next to a weaver's booth. They were pretty cool, but when he showed me his teeth, I had to shoot photograph him.

[Watser?]

He needs to see a dentist :help:

So did it spit at you? Or is that just a myth?

[livius drusus]

Oh wow lavender as in the lovely fragrant flowa? I want some lavender plants for my front yard so when people walk up the path they are immersed in good smells.

[livius drusus]

So did it spit at you? Or is that just a myth?

Definitely not a myth. My mother was spat on by a llama when she was 9 months pregnant with me. (I was a week late. Llama spit did the trick.)

[Watser?]

This is how I first heard about llamas and the spitting:

Mille sabords de tonnerre de Brest! Tintin = thanks.

[Plant Woman]

I wasn't spit upon, thankfully.

The festival was a blast. We toured eight lavender farms, where there was music, food and vendors selling all kinds of things. We ate lavender ice cream and other such oddities. A great time! Here are a couple of highlights.

[livius drusus]

Oh man... Huge fields of fragrant purple gorgeousness. :wriggle:

[Watser?]

Cool pics PW :thumbup:

No really, she was carving her initials on it at the time...

Let me guess. You expected more sexual content in this thread?
Or is the pic sexy enough?

[JoeP]

Beautiful pics pw!

And liv ... brought into the world by the spit of a llama ... it's enough to start a whole new religion

[biochemgirl]

bcg, have you rented Emperor yet? :brooding:

Ummmm...no. I was looking to download it because I'm too lazy to go across town after work to the video store. I might have time to rent it Friday after work though. :yup:

Well yes of course, but I suppose it will do for now. :giggle:

Yup I second the not a myth. Although I've never been spit on by a llama in my life. Most of the time I've seen them do it to other llamas while they are fighting over food.

[Sock Puppet]

Cuidado! Llamas!

Llamas!

[Plant Woman]

Tape recorder up his nose. :foocl:

[freemonkey]

Was that in Sequim, PW? I always mean to go, but I usually get reminded about it a week or so after its over.

[Plant Woman]

Yes that was in Sequim, so I guess we are closer you have your reminder within 3 days this time. If I remember next year, I will try to remind you. That might be a big IF though, the remembering part that is.
