Children Photography | Little Shepherd at The Village

© 2011 Wazari Wazir | Little Shepherd at The Village | My Son Feeding the Goat With Tapioca Leaf Outside My Mother in Law House

To those of you who live in the countryside, this picture maybe meant nothing to you but I believe our family will appreciated this photograph in the future. I took this photograph during school holiday December 2011 at my mother in law house and in fact this photograph were taken just outside my mother in law house (unseen here), not the green house back there but just right behind me. We live in big city of Kuala Lumpur and we can hardly find any goat just outside our home except cars.

This is not our family goat but it was belongs to my son aunty who have quite a few herd of goats. When capturing this photograph, I can’t help it but but it remind me of my journey in India (2010) where I see a lot of shepherd along the way from the train on our way from New Delhi to Rajasthan, the different is that, the view in Rajasthan is way much more picturesque than what you seen here.

I took few pictures of my son playing and feeding the goat and then just spent my time watching them having fun. While some big city children having fun playing with computer games, iPhone, iPad games, well, at least I’ve something different for my son to be remembered when he grows up. I think it is natural for a children like my son age to like an animal, as you can see form the photograph on my son yellow t-shirt there.

Most of the times they can only see the animal on the television, in the books or at the zoo but very rarely they can interact with them, let alone touching them, so this is something I believes every children will cherished. At first my son was a little bit afraid to get close to the white hairy animal but after awhile, he get used to it.
