The kids had Fall Break the week of Thanksgiving and one of those days we took a walk along the pond to feed the ducks. The little guy, or rather BIG guy, pictured above, walked right up to us with expectant eyes and practically begged for bread. You can call us enablers, but we gave the guy some bread--you can actually see it in his hands. Wouldn't you have?
The kids are a little skittish around ducks ever since the trip to the Duck Pond we took while we were in Oregon over the Summer, where the ducks charged you and literally goosed you to get the bread out of your hands. That trip ended in tears. Now, whenever Livy sees a duck she says: "Is that an 'Oregon duck?'" So, on this particular trip, as the ducks started making their way out of the pond to get a closer position to their potential food, this is what my kids did
They look *vicious* don't they?
After the duck pond, I of course tried to capture the kids in some of the 'Fall scenery' before I forgot another year.
In my efforts to take better pictures of people, I am trying to become more aware of the ways in which people pose; where they put their hands, etc., before I take the shot. That didn't happen in this picture. After I snapped this shot, it wasn't until I got home that I noticed that Oscar had his arm behind his back. Everyone needs a one armed picture of their child, right?
At the end of our "pond walk" we saw our pond's celebrity: Puff Head. It was good to see her again.....I am assuming that it is female, I do not think a male could rock that hair.
