elf1 > As I turned into the driveway, I could see--or, rather, not see, that it would be a challenging morning: Normally, I can see an agility field up ahead.

elf1 > Arlene strolls out into the field to determine whether there is, in fact, a dogwalk out there somewhere. It's FOGGY.

elf1 > Tika and Boost watch the other dogs run.

elf1 > Arlene leaves Scully in a sit-stay and leads out. It's foggy enough that they're somewhat indistinct, even though I'm not that far away.

elf1 > The Power Paws llamas pose on the edge of a foggy abyss--normally you can see the entire city of San Jose and Santa Clara valley spread out behind them. The llamas are here to protect the sheep against mountain lions, which occasionally take livestock in this area. I believe they haven't had problems since they got the llamas. Yes, llamas do that! (more info here)

elf1 > I tried to capture Trini the guard llama without the fence in the photo, but just couldn't quite get it. She's a little blurred by the fog (and I'm not that far away from her). You can see how steep the hillside is on which the sheep and llamas graze. The llamas seem to be quite curious and eager to see what people and dogs are up to. They're not in the least bothered by, say, Tika rushing up the the fence and barking at them. They just look down on her in what seems to me to be amusement.

elf1 > Rammie grazes on a steep hillside. The fog must be starting to clear--you can vaguely make out the downstairs neighbor's house and swimming pool far below.

elf1 > The Power Paws sheep hang out in the fog on the hillside just below the agility field, watched over by the PP llamas (not appearing in this film).
