A few first week pictures

 This was in the Free Flight Bird Park -- these little guys knew which side their bread was buttered on -- if they landed on us, we had the seeds -- and the milk.  Their colors were all wonderful, and this was the "lovebird" cage - I watched as one of them took the seed from us and fed it to its mate nearby.
 You know the guys on the left -- next to Vaughn is Keow, the little sister of the Yeo boys, and their Mom. This is her special dish -- a favorite of her sons -- and one that we loved, too -- Lots of vegetables, all julienne cut -- with a sweet sauce and rice soft "taco" that was so delicate -- both in flavor and look.  It was a great meal...note the pink chopsticks...they have all encouraged us to use them...and we are slowly getting the hang of it. But Vaughn commented that if we thought teaching a two year old to use a knife and fork was hard -- what must this be like?
 "Madonna and Child" -- Malaysian monkey version. Boy, those little guys hang on for dear life -- and well they should as Mom goes up the tree lickety split!
 My little camera is doing a great job -- these birds were in great profusion at the park...but can you believe the sun on those feathers?
 I really like this close up of Ben's Mom...as I said, we communicated via Charades...
 The only difference between Ben 1990 and Ben 2011 is the glasses...and a somewhat different hairline...
Thank heavens for telephoto...this guy had a even bigger python that was greyish...he dragged him out for the tourists, too...I can't decide whether I was more unsettled by these snakes or the cobra that rose from a basket two feet from my face on my first day in Pakistan...
