Now there's something you don't see every day....

Or in my case, any day. I've been trying to get to the judging for this for years.

Now, that's just about the most cunning thing I've ever seen.

I mean--SHAME on whoever put that hat on that poor lama. Also: There's a sweater too? Really?

We were at a county fair in Maine, with lamas (and alpacas and baby pigs and goats and sheep trails and LOTS of cows). And an iron skillet throwing contest for the girls. But this takes the blueberry crumble. Thank you

I'm still working out what the costume is of. Sherwood Forest?

Somehow I thought "Carmen Miranda?!" even though that's fruit, not flowers. If you ever find out, I'd love to know what it's supposed to be.

The human is a scarecrow. Not sure if that makes this a horse of another color or what; photo of them from a distance is here...

But . . . but . . . but . . .

Am I really the only one to think "That's a cunning hat"? The llama, clearly, is a professional model.

I think the photographer did wonders, but the duct tape disqualifies the hat from the highest form of cunning. Still. It has its moments, doesn't it?

See, I hadn't even noticed the duct tape. No, it's all fabulous. -em.

What an awesome drama llama!

Those eyes!

Wow. I am suddenly sad that I did not go to our State Fair.

I wish I'd seen this aspect of it myself. Maybe next year?
