Living Arrows - Farm Friends

With the spring finally making an appearance we took Luca to our favourite haunt, Temple Newsam for him (and me) to see all the new baby lambs! He loved meeting all the animals and wandered over to these three ducks quietly sitting by the wall minding their own business.  As he walked up, before I pulled my camera out he crouched down and said "Hiya ducks", then slowly got closer.  I love watching him with animals and his connection he already seems to have with them. He isn't scared of any animal and was even giving the big pigs a good scratch but this encounter was my favourite to watch.

    Aww that's so sweet - I love his fearlessness, we have to feed ducks from bridges because my two are so very unimpressed by ducks getting too close to them!

      Aww bless. Maybe they'll get braver as they get older. He really is not fazed at all, even by big cows or horses! X

      You should. We got some great pictures of him stroking the lambs and trying to kiss one.

    He sounds just like Alexander, fearless. Oliver is super sensible so a lot more guarded. Fab pics x

      Thank you. I love that he's fearless, my niece is a huge wimp and it really irritates me as she won't try anything new she's just like her dad. I had no choice but to be fearless with my dad who comes up with all sorts of ridiculously dangerous but awesome games to play! How I survived to adulthood is a mystery!

    Oh too cute! Kids have no fear do they? I'd be off running in the other direction! I hate big ducks, geese, swans etc x

      Luca doesn't have fear of animals which I think is great. He takes after his Papa who is like Dr Dolittle
