Luckily, we happened to see their newly born baby. The staff said it had been born just five days before.
The father is pure white and the mother is dark brown. Mysteriously, the baby is not light brown but is exactly the same color as its mother.

Sheared Alpacas and Their Five-Day-Old Baby
I went to ‘Bell Mall,’ the largest shopping mall in Utsunomiya city with my wife Kiyono to see alpacas today.
Luckily, we happened to see their newly born baby. The staff said it had been born just five days before.
The father is pure white and the mother is dark brown. Mysteriously, the baby is not light brown but is exactly the same color as its mother.

Poppy Field
The local meteorological agency declared last week that this year’s rainy season in Tochigi prefecture had started.
It was sunny and sultry day today. I went to a poppy field located northern part of Utsunomiya city with Rina today.
It took us about thirty minutes by car.
The top season of the flowers seemed to have passed, but still we could enjoy seeing colorful flowers.
After coming back home, Rina immediately went to a shopping mall alone to buy her favorite serial comic book scheduled to sell today and a small father’s day present to me.
The present was frozen sweets. That was delicious. Thanks Rina.
But, the main reason she instantly left home for the shopping mall was, doubtlessly, the comic book … lol

Kiyono Published A Book
This is a second time for her to publish a book. One of coauthors is Mr. Matsuno who was also my English teacher about twenty years ago.
Congratulations Kiyono and Mr. Matsuno on publishing the new book.
I’m very happy: Kiyono did a great job and my English teacher still vigorously keeps publishing new books like two decades age.

“What Am I?”
“What Am I?”
“A dog, a rabbit, a sheep, a camel or a goat …”
“No, no, I am an alpaca.”
An alpaca came to Banba-Hiroba open space, the center of Utsunomiya city, from Nasu Animal Kingdom with dogs, rabbits and other animals yesterday.
I had nothing special to do yesterday so I went to Banba-Hiroba and took some pictures.
Isn’t it cute?
It is said that alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights at an altitude of around 4,000 m in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile.
Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items including blankets, sweaters, hats and gloves.
Nasu Animal Kingdom in Tochigi is at far lower an altitude than that of those countries.
Alpacas attract maney tourists in Japan these days thanks to their increasing popularity by TV broadcasting.
