This llama was a bit of cute little chap. I asked him if I could take his photo and he said "llama think about it". I assured him I was qualified and had a dipllama in llama photography. Anyway, dillama averted, I told him he was the spitting image of his father ;) That did the trick
I hope his favourite song doesn't get stuck in your head ... llama, llama, llama, llama, llama, chameleon ....

One and a quarter hours from Quito, capital of Ecuador, stands the beautiful and little known colonial Hacienda of San Agustín de Callo. Built on the site of an Inca palace, one of the two most important archaeological Inca sites in Ecuador.
Llama figurine made by South American Incas 1440-1532.
Llamas were an important part of the the Inca economy and also pets and companions. Small llama statues were frequent temple offerings.
This one, larger than usual at 230mm tall, is a masterpiece of worked silver sheets. It is simple in form yet captures in its abstracted elegance the very essence of llama. It's an artefact you dearly want to own!

The one-l Lama,
he's a priest
(Hello Dalai).
The two-l llama,
he's a beast
(often melancholy).
And I will bet
a silk pajama
there isn't any
three-l llama,
(he’s extinct).

Llamas are intelligent and can learn simple tasks after a few repetitions. The wool produced by a llama is very soft and lanolin-free.

Native Ayamara herders and their dogs march a group of llamas across a hillside while the sun sets in front of them. Pastoral herding of llamas is an ancient tradition in Bolivia and a mainstay of the rural economy along with quinoa cultivation. The animals are shorn for their fur which is more coarse than their alpaca cousins, and used for blankets and some clothing items. Note the woman on the right is carrying branches in her satchel, presumably for fuel.
