When I am travelling to different places in the country, I enjoy seeking out specialty coffee shops. It's where you meet interesting people and with a good cup of coffee, I take time to get to know them a bit.

Here we see a photo of a beautiful specimen of the rare Java Hippotatomus taken inside the Java Reserve located near the Kitchen Veggies Bay close to my refrigerator.
The skin of a Java Hippo is not just an attractive cover - it also helps them maintain their land and aquatic lifestyle. However, since they do not have a gland to help them regulate temperature, living in the shady refrigerators helps them stay cool, as well as their habit of daily heading to a coffee mud wallow for cooling baths.
Hippotatomus populations world wide have dropped drastically due to poaching and habitat loss. Poachers provide hippo meat for use as a substitute to yam in the preparation of certain recipes. The habitat is slowly shrinking in many parts of the world due to ever increasing human population.
Let this be a warning then... let's save the Java Hippos while we can!

On the back, part of my lunch salad....
Eating can be fun, trust me. (...messy, but fun, nonetheless!)

Java Sparrows are the sweetest birds just loaded with personality. I know young birds are juveniles but when it comes to these sweeties it is Baby Java :)
Java Sparrow: Originally native to Java and Bali in Indonesia, and possibly Madura, this sparrow has been introduced and is established in many parts of the world, from Asia to Australia, Africa and North America. Inhabits open woodlands, often bordering cultivated areas, and is also found in mangroves, grassland, towns and villages, and in both coastal and inland areas.
