CCC#63
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.
For an increasing number of British farmers the alpaca has become the go-to for wool production. The alpaca’s fibres fetch a much higher price than common old sheep. But its still a rare sight in our countryside.

So.. llama? 🙂

The sign at the farm said alpaca. The alpaca produces a much sought wool, while the llama is less productive and coarser. But I’m no expert on this and I’m happy to be corrected

🙂 I felt dumb asking.

No, don’t be. One of the identifiers is the ears, and even now I’m not sure. But these were bred for their wool, so… alpaca is more likely

Alpaca have straight pointed ears, and llamas have banana shaped ones. So I read on the interweb.

Yep, I read that too. But only after someone queries whether it was llama or alpaca. Yet the farm sign definitely said alpaca. Besides, alpacas yield high quality wool 🙂

I think we all do. Freshly shorn, they do look kinda cuddly, and even good-natured, which apparently they’re not.

Well … you see … Alpacas grow fleece, fleece makes wool, wool makes thread (and yarns, and tales …;)), and thread … well … is something you use for sewing and knitting and mending and .. 😉
(but I know you know that’s how i got there … ;))
