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.

I spotted this oldtimer somewere in Central Java, although most cars are very old, cars like these are very very rare in that region.

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.
