A Return to Hidden Nook Farm

I have written about this little place in the past and it is still as cute and quaint as the first time back in 2013.

Again in 2014 when we met the adorable Thumbelina.

I had been following their posts on Facebook and knew they had a new addition to their little Alpaca family so I was pleased when I got a call asking if I would be interested in taking some pictures for them.

They are going to start selling end products from their alpaca wool, scarves, gloves, hats, etc and they wanted photos for a display.

I jumped at the chance, of course.

At first I was in the enclosure with the females and the newbies. Fiona is the smallest, just a few days old.

From there I moved to another enclosure where to my surprise the black alpaca came right up. Usually they are very timid and shy so this one was a bit unusual. I snapped pictures as he approached and then let him sniff the camera. Once he’d checked both me and the camera out he wandered back with the rest.

It wasn’t a long visit but it was fun. I can’t wait until they have some finished products for me to see and try out!
