Llamas of the Krishna temple

funny llamas

Have we met?

I went with Marlene last weekend to the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple to shoot some sacred plants for her research. Spanish Fork, Utah is an unlikely a place to find a Krishna temple. Llamas are for rent for pack trips. They focused intently on the camera as we left the radio station/hothouse.
