To glare


Glare

Etymology: Middle English glaren
Date: 13th century

- To look with fierce, piercing eyes; to stare earnestly, angrily, or fiercely.

I was just thinking about this word and wondered what you thought.

Is this considered glaring?

What about this?

How about now?

Ok. I was just wondering.

    Too funny! Thanks for sharing and tell Chester to keep hanging in there; he'll break through their reserve eventually...

    Glaring, I think she/he is just trying to get a little attention from Chester. It is true that llamas do spit and I mean spit. DH and I were at a llama farm, getting ready to take a couple of them for a hike, (this was just after our home and land was approved for llamas)Our friends own a bed and breakfast and home to forty llamas. For whatever reason DH's llama looked him right in the eye and spit. His face was covered and I mean covered in green grass. Our friends mouth's both dropped, in all the years they have been handling llamas this was a first. Needless to say, llamas do not reside here, but I have not given up hope. Keep up the good work Danni. I love your Christmas decorations!

    SO, do the llamas like the cold weather, too? It is just getting to us here in WesternNY state and my neck is cold! I need to get used to it, or quit cutting my hair so short in November!

    If looks could kill, Chester would be gone. I'm proud of him for not backing down.

    Definitely glaring.

    Though the hay hanging out of the mouth diminishes it some.....

    Good for Chester for not turning tail and fleeing! I'm rooting for him!

    Those llamas are almost as moody as my 11 year old.

    Except they can't talk back.

    Okay, well, if I had that little tuft of hair on top of my head I might glare too. You need to introduce that llama to Dottie the Chicken.

    That poor little Chester should receive a reward for all his patience. I hope he eventually wins them over!

    Yup, glare. Dirty look. "The LOOK". I could rip your face of look. If looks could kill, that last pic would surely do it.

    My family look at me with odd looks on their faces, not glaring but some other look, not sure what but they look anyway at me when I suddenly burst out laughing! They don't realise I'm reading your blog! Thanks for the laugh!

    Looks like some glares to me. Glad my llamas haven't caught on to that lately.

    Poor Chester! He's probably not even able to muster up a 'glare' to give back to that snotty girl. He's just not about the glaring.
    Shall I find him a friend here in Texas and have him shipped??

    I agree with CeeCee...Chester is sooo cool, he really deserves a donkey friend someday. Good for him to put his ears back too! And, yes, that was glaring all the way!
