The thing about ducklings

Kids (mostly) love baby animals.  At kinder, the kids have baby ducklings to learn about nature.  I have been photographing the gorgeous little ones with the ducklings. 

The kids have been queuing to hold them, though a few are really hesitant.  One wanted to know if the duckling was going to eat him!  Just too cute for words! 

And for the record: getting both duckling and toddler looking at the camera at the same time is slightly tricky!

Feeding the ducks

When you have car trouble so close to Christmas, it takes a while for the mechanic to get to your car.  We have been doing quite a bit of walking lately!  Going to the store is a bit of a trip, so I try to include some other activities.  Last time we took some old bread with to feed the ducks along the way. 

 

My youngest found a feather and spent ages playing with it.  (She didn’t fall in, but her game quickly reminded me how easily little ones can fall into the water)

The sun is shining, so I am going to try to catch up on the washing.  I am going to have to find some time to bake cookies for tomorrow’s picnic at school.  Hope you all have a great day!

Carlton and buskers

A couple of buskers were singing at the museum.  She really had a gorgeous voice.

With the grey skies, she really stood out with her bright scarf and hat (isn’t the scarf awesome?)

The ducks in the pond were really precocious.  As soon as we came close, they charged at us, hoping for some snacks I think!

Walking back I kept on being astounded by the variety of architectural styles. 

I am really looking forward to doing this again next year!
