There are two kinds of alpacas. These are Huacaya alpacas, (pronounced Wuh-kai-ya). Huacayas are fluffy like teddy bears and Suris have long shiny locks like very soft, slightly curly hair. Alpacas are bred specifically for their fiber. High quality fleece from both species fetches top dollar on the international market. Some hand spinners like to spin alpaca fiber mixed with cotton, wool or Silk. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, ponchos, sweaters, socks, coats, bedding, and a wide variety of textiles.

Baby Squirrels

A friend rescued a couple of baby squirrels. They are now with a wildlife rehabilitator, who does soft releases. This couple knows their stuff, and have released hundreds of squirrels over the years.

HallowWed & A Hedgehog

I went downtown to the Farmers Market and on my way back to my car, saw these 4 strolling down this alleyway towards me. I told them a photo of them in those costumes & the alley, would make a great album cover. The couple on the right, told me they just got married. So I asked if they would like their picture taken & they happily said yes.
