I think the breed is called Charolais.

Re: The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair

The llama could bite her iPhone and destroy it. But I suppose that didn't happen.  Excellent capture, that last one.  I like them all.

Anyway, I have a non-photography question: I was surprised to still see "Royal" in the title of a fair held in Canada. Is this a holdover from when the Queen of Britain was still sovereign over Canada? Or is my memory so out of whack that I think that ended, but it hasn't?

Of course it is a holdover.

Did you honestly think it has another explanation, or do you just want to jab away at how silly it is that Canadians still have an antiquated relationship with the British monarchy?

unless we elected a king and I wasn’t notified. Maybe that was what you thought happened.

Re: The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair

Please don't be so sensitive.  I did not mean to poke fun at anything but my memory.  Thank you for your first sentence, it answered my (non-photography) question.

Oh come on. Admit you were tempted to post the ubiquitous American line: “Do you guys still have the queen on your money?”

My sensitivity switch to passive jabs gets many false positives, but hey you have to break some eggs as they say

This is brilliant. I too thought "selfie" but the more I look at it, the more it looks like the woman is showing a message of major important to the llama!

Cheers,
Paul
