Full of Fleece

We've had several warm days of late and the alpacas are beginning to rush me whenever I appear with the hose to fill water tubs; however, in the interest of not messing up their fiber (which is well ornamented with plant matter already), I'm making them wait until after shearing--this weekend. In the meantime, I've tried to capture photos of the gals in full fleece. They're puffy, rounded, and very full.

Lili and Judith, our crias, have almost rounded faces in contrast to the adults whose fluff does not encroach over their cheeks.

The alpacas are so pillowy soft at this time of year that I caught the little Nubian buckling Samuel trying to use Shaun as a pillow one afternoon when Samuel was very tired after a busy day.
