I was photographing the road side scenery when this beautiful family came to me smiling. I gave them a few Soles in exchange for taking the photos. After I took a couple photos I asked the child to hold the lamb alittle closer in but I didn’t realize he was going to eat the flowers! Bet the next photographer didn’t have flowers in their shot.
