I love to photograph children! They project so much wonder, delight and enthusiasm for life! During a three-week trip to Peru back in 2009, I was able to capture a few photographs. I love this little girl with her baby llama. She was on the side of the road with her family…selling handmade items.
These boys are ready for school.
The next three photos were taken on a floating man-made island in Lake Titicaca…the highest lake in the world…at 14,000 ft. There are over 40 of these islands that the “Uros” people inhabit. Everything is made from reeds…including the School…
The little girls have such cute clothing!
May we all keep the spirit of childhood within us!

Thank you very much!!
Love this post and beautiful photos !
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed them!
These children are ageless in the sense that they are both young and old at the same time. Our civilisation seems to strip away ancient wisdom so quickly and it takes many people decades to find their way back.
What an interesting way to phrase that thought! I love it!!
And I love the way your travels and experiences enable the rest of us to see the world through your eyes. With grateful thanks.
Thank you! That is cool to be able to see things through others’ eyes!

Children of Peru…wonderful…
Thank you!
I’m thinking of Peru in 2014/2015 – there’s obviously a lot more to see than just the ruins and the countryside.
Yes…I was very surprised at the diversity!
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for stopping by!
Wonderful photos of the children! They are our future and must be cherished and nurtured!
Thanks Sherry! I agree!!
Hi,
Great photos, I especially liked the first photo just too cute with the baby llama and the lovely costume.
Thanks Mags…that’s my fav too!
Such cute kids. I love the baby (llama?) in the first one.
I’m pretty sure it’s a Llama…rather than an alpaca. They are cute!
I love the hat in the first photo.
Cute!
I’ve read about those floating islands! What a life, cut off from so much of our modern world (for better or worse). Love the pictures of the kids!!
Thanks Anneli!
How beautiful!
Thanks so much!!
Brings back a flood of memories — weren’t those town/islands in Titicaca amazing??!! Gorgeous colors and children, Sherrie!

Thank you for the amazing photos. Kids allow us to see the beauty in our world.
Yes! If we keep our childlike spirits…then we can too!! Thanks for taking time to comment!
