True Effort

Was at Tanarimba last weekend and stopped by the lovely Balinese house somewhere along the main road that is being painstakingly built - you won't miss it - the majestic roof structures are great first impressions. And towards the back is that naturally occuring wall of green. Matured trees, some fruiting, greets the line of sight. The stream somewhere below lends a pleasant soundtrack to an already calm view. Leaf birds and black-capped bulbuls danced around the branches. I didn't have to crank my neck nor use my binoculars. Yes they were that close. The owner had said that he tried to maintain all the trees on the land and indeed he has done a good job at that.

To cap it off, 2 rhinoceros hornbills flew past overhead. At the same time, the screeching call of a gliding cresent serpent eagle resonated in the air. The two landed on a tree across the road for a couple of minutes before setting off again.

Ahh.... the spirit renewed once again.
