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.

Thanks everyone for your visit, comments, critiques, fave,invite..etc. I really appreciate it.
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.
Tumpak Sewu in East Jawa is one of the most famous tiered waterfall. The mesmerizing view at the top and at the bottom of the waterfall is unexplainable.
Noted roadside attraction in Tacoma. It's a bar now and thus closed in the morning so we had to get our morning coffee elsewhere. It's apparently a great place to visit, and the building dates to 1927 or maybe 1930.

Joyau de l'art bouddhique, le mandala de Borobudur impressionne par la majesté de son architecture autant que par la perfection de ses bas-reliefs. Ce merveilleux stupa tropical, construit aux alentour de l'an 800, est classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
The Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine bird. This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean Indonesia. This one was taken in Amazon World on the Isle of Wight. (UK).
One of the nice things about Seattle is its ready supply of coffee. I'm not fond of Starbucks, though (if one isn't going to load up on a sugary, creamy, calorie-laden drink, the plain black coffee they serve tastes roasted and burnt into oblivion). And did you know that there's actually a Starbucks in China's Forbidden City now? (I find that almost obscene!) I wish there were more mom-and-pop coffee shops left around, not just multinational behemoths.
Heritage village (neighbourhood), Surabaya.
This street is located in a traditional, historical Javanese neighbourhood of the colonial town, since the colonial city was segregated into different neighbourhoods home to different ethnicities en religions (f.e.: the Dutch neighbourhood, Chinatown, the Malay-Arab Islamic neighbourhood, the Javanese neighbourhood). Here you find charming colonial houses which blend Dutch and tropical Javanese architecture.
Surabaya was found during the mighty Hindu-Buddhist Majapahit Empire (13th to 16th century), when it served as a port nearby its fabulous capital. During this time, it received Muslim Sufi missionaries, such as Ampel, who preached here and thus found an Islamic base in Java from where the religion was further spread. The historic Ampel neighbourhood still has one of the oldest mosques of Indonesia. The town came into the hands of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early 18th century, who further developped the town and introduced fascinating Dutch colonial architecture, but at the expense of the population and according to seggregation. Surabaya was the second most important port due to the export of sugar and tobacco from the interior. It was from here that, after the Japanese occupation in WWII, that the Indonesians and Sukarno declared independence from The Netherlands in 1945.
On est si petit, le monde est si grand
Que serait la vie sans notre maman?
Elle sait d'un mot redonner confiance
Et faire oublier nos chagrins d'enfant.
Refrain
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne
Et pour moi qui peut sous mon toit
Apporter la joie?
Voyez-vous, c'est la mienne
Un regard suffit entre nous
Pour deviner notre pensée
Alors je la prends par le cou
Et je la couvre de baisers
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne.
