When I reached the top of the hill where I intended to sit and sketch I found Llarry our Llama laying peacefully in the shade of a tree. Thinking that this would make a great pastoral sketch I maneuvered the jeep around to a good viewing position without disturbing Llarry which was tricky on the narrow tree covered ridge. Fortunately it was a hot enough that he wasn’t inclined to move. As soon as I settled down to sketch our other animals decided to come see what I was doing. Maybe lend a hand? Anyway, I found myself surrounded by two horses, two donkeys, and a pony all sticking their heads into the jeep looking around and generally getting in the way. By the time I pushed everyone away Llarry was up and the moment was broken but I had carved this few minutes out of my day especially to draw and this is the resulting sketch. Everybody kind of standing around with “what’s wrong with him” look, except for Cricket, the old mare, who just turned her back on me.
