Burt, The Professional Alpaca Greeter

Burt was the greeter at the Colonial Alpaca Farm we visited.
The farm was about 30 minutes from our condo and so much fun to see.
Just a small operation with a little store.
Burt greeted you when you got out of your car.
He then took you around to the gate where you let yourself in to see the alpacas.
They were kind of shy but I did get a few photos.
Of course I bought some alpaca socks and a hat at the store.
Burt’s payment was a throw of his red ball.

Hello Burt! That seems to be a fitting name for him :-)

A fine character shot of the obliging Burt. I'm sure he's good at his job and expect the ball gets thrown many times in a day for him!

I bet he does his job well, the perfect Alpaca greeter!

The guardian of the gate, what a wonderful looking dog he is too. V

A fun adventure and a memory of "Burt".

Poor Burt! I suspect it's a challenge carrying all that weight!

a fabulous character looking both professional and tough...well done Jane to get the low angle on such a compact model..
Helen Betts15-Nov-2020 18:22
Great capture of this professional greeter, which he probably does so people will throw his ball for him. V.

Cool shot of Bert. He looks like an impressive greeter. Probably keeps the Alpaca in line too. "V"
