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.

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...

I was extremely motivated to depart the airbnb at which I stayed the previous night.* Thankfully, the Java Joe's on 4th in downtown Des Moines provided a welcome refuge.
* The place smelled like dog and I found a flea on me. Needless to say, if all of the hotel rooms weren't booked, I would have skedaddled sooner.
Early morning at Borobudur Temple, Java.
Borobudur Temple is a huge Buddhist Temple located 40 km north west of Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. The temple was built during the golden age of Syailendra Dynasty, presumably between 750 and 825. Dark-grey volcanic stone was used for the construction of the monument, which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
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.
