It’s not all rocky, as you can see plenty of changing colors on the trees.
Just a quick post of a fun picture taken on the north coast of maui.
She was just walking by so I snapped a few pics as she crossed the scene.
Taken while in the car. When she walked back she said sorry for getting in the picture… I laughed.
This bird lives at the Krishna temple found in Salem, Utah
Picture taken by: Scott Jarvie
And yes the bird did talk a little… not as much as the other parrot in the cage next to him.
I think seeing the 3 parrots, numerous llamas and peacocks tells us a little something about their care and concern for animal life.
It goes along with their vegetarian lifestyle.
To learn more about Krishnaism check out the wikipedia listing… and feel free to share other links about the religion.
I’m sure we’ll be visiting the topic often in the future along with many other religions and locations around the world.
