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.

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!)

Hanging out at Java Sprockets this morning.
Visit this location at Protected Land - Java Sprockets in Second Life
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.
Here is some colorful history: www.pacific-hwy.net/java.htm

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.
