Such a beautiful little bird...I love these guys.

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.

Java

Daybreak and the the veils of mist are still heavy over the jungle-filled plain on central Java. The sun has not yet reached the horizon but the sounds of the forest are increasing. The mist has started to take a little of the orange color forming in the sky before sunrise.

You should really watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format. the large version is a sixth of the original - The medium size shown here even smaller...

Prambanan is a the second largest Hindu temple in the world, reaching 47 meters high, and constructed during the 9th century. It was built during the Hindu-Buddhist Mataram kingdom of Central Java, when a new civilisation was flourishing under Indian Hindu influence and by the fertility provided by the neighbouring Merapi volcano. Within 100 years of construction, the Prambanan complex was already abandoned. Disastrous volcanic eruptions, as the oppression on the population by exhausting temple construction, could have led to a collapse, which urged the court and people to move to east Java, where later the Majapahit Empire was found.

I recently spent a week in Hawaii. Birding wasn't my focus, but I did see LOTS of birds as I toured parks and gardens near Honolulu.

This Java Sparrow was another species I saw most often foraging in the grass. And like the Chestnut Munias and Common Waxbills, I usually saw them in groups of a half-dozen or more.

NOTE: If you'd like to see more birds and flora from Hawaii, I've created a dedicated album that contains several photos not in my Photostream.
