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

Also a great video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkzbCFbir3o

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.

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

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 can see other images from of Indonesia in my Indonesia set

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...

another of the beauties I found in Hawaii...although I admit freely that I am missing our eagles.

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.
