There is a population of non-native monk parakeets that make their home in Chicago. I spotted 20 of them in a tree near campus this week.
Monk. seals are a critically endangered species, and I was not even dreaming that I might see one, let alone two on my hike! It's nice to know that wild things exsist even on an island as developed as Oahu.

A monk from Mandalay, Myanmar, smokes in front of his old teak monastery. He had just proudly shown me around the inside of the monastery, and I asked for a portrait at the end and he happily obliged. Not many monks do smoke, except for some in the older generations.
Monks “debating” philosophy at Sera Monastery, Lhasa, Tibet. The debating style is quite physical, though (at least as far as I saw) without actual physical contact. I’m told they essentially work through a script of statement and responses.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
Back Story .........................................
Left early with the scooter/sidecar.
Felt naked with out the camera bag.
A click before the monkey temple I picked up a monk.
He was heading back to the temple with his alms bowl
full of daily food that the local people donate.
He is also the monk that is caring for the 10 puppies that
were dumped here at the monkey temple.
Took him right to the front door of the yellow building where
a bunch of puppies plus one cat were waiting.
Mama was waiting at the head of the driveway that leads
into The Dog Palace. She ran along side the sidecar full of
excitement .
Once the monk was delivered we did a 180 degree turn and
picked up Rocky who had just appeared . So now Rocky Mama
and I are buzzing along straight into Leroy Crew Turf.
Seven resident dogs came running to the boundary line barking
and going crazy until Rocky told them all to stop it right now!
Mama did her detour routine circling around by the big drum
then reappearing where the head monk sits.
A big bag of special food is laid out for The Leroy Crew.
A 10 kilo bag of kibble is passed off to the head monk while
using Thai/English [tinglish] explaining that I'll be back to pick
up Boo Boo at 9AM sharp, they understood.
Mama and I split back to The Dog Palace. Mama is fed as was
BTP and Rocky . Without a camera or book my mind got bored.
So, a broom and dust pan was put to good use around the
bingo room. Finally it was 8:50AM, mounted the Honda 125cc scooter/sidecar and went to get Boo Boo.
Threw a handful of chopped hot dog around to disarm the dogs.
Their little pea brains are now all thinking Cool, more food .... ;-)
The maintenance women grabbed Boo Boo while a collar and
leash are readied .
Poor Boo Boo, he peed his pants an soon found himself in the
sidecar. First 10 minutes he was freaking but my soft voice and
gentle hand calmed him. As we slowly made our way through
the first 6 clicks of jungle road Boo Boo started to adjust.
My hand never left his head and neck all the way to the clinic.
When we turned onto the main road where large trucks whizz
past us at high speed I could feel tension return to his body.
Another 10 minutes and Boo Boo once again calms right down.
Turns out Boo Boo was a good rider but certainly needs a lot
more practice, maybe that can happen in the future.
Pulled into the dog doctors clinic and he started getting edgy
again so I just picked him up and carried him. He weighs 16kilo.
Sat in a blue plastic chair and Boo Boo laid between my feet.
By 11 AM he had been seen by the Dr, blood was drawn and
instructions given.
By Noon o'clock I was home being carefully inspected by 3
more hooligans. Sidecar was really checked over, go figure.
Boo Boo will be picked up around 6PM and returned to the
monkey temple. The maintenance women have been given
a heads up by no#1 and the nuns.
When we arrive they will be waiting for us and Boo Boo will
be in good hands ..... ;-)
There's a chance I'll return tomorrow morning to do a look see.
No guarantee on that but a good effort will be made just to
make sure all is OK.
