Sometimes called the "lily-trotter" or the "lotusbird". This one is definitely for those among us, who have a foot fetish ;-)
Light box L and White Umbrella R. Slower shutter speed to capture some action in the hair. Edits using Onone Portrait and Effects.
A Lotus Bird, or Comb Crested Jacana comes into land on some lily pads. An incredibly prehistoric looking bird, perfectly suited for lily pad hopping.

The Arctic comb jelly or sea nut (Mertensia ovum) is commonly found in the surface (top 50 meters) in cold, northern waters. Like other cydippid ctenophores, it has two tentacles fringed with smaller tentacles, which are dappled with colloblasts. Colloblasts are specialized cells that, upon contact with other organisms, act as a glue, allowing the comb jelly to pull the food to its mouth with little resistance. This species has light bioluminescence in blues and greens, but the rainbow effect in this photo is caused by light refracting off of its comb-like rows of cilia, which propel it through the water.

Combs were used for multiple purposes. This includes combs being used as status symbols, as decoration for the hair, and as tools.

We enjoyed seeing the Comb-crested Jacana or Lotus birds walking on the Lotus leaves on the South Alligator River, Kakadu National Park.
While on the waters we saw a number of sets of chicks. One male with one chick, another with two and one had three chicks to care for.

Update on the feral hive that was removed from a large plastic barrel. This hive built up quickly after they were transferred. They swarmed about two months later. I did a quick inspection a week after the swarm and saw there was a new queen but no eggs. I wanted to take another look in to make sure she was mated and laying. I pulled one frame from the center of the brood chamber and saw capped brood and eggs, indicating there is a laying queen in the hive. The frame I pulled just happened to be the one I had previously tied the cut out comb into, notice the nails in the top bar. I took a photograph of this same frame when I was transferring it into the Langstroth hive, see photo below. Interesting to see how the bees anchored and tied the comb together and continue to use it for brood production.
Things that make me go MMM ... natures amazing engineering !!!

Vi esse glitter da La Femme em alguma galeria aqui no flickr e na primeira oportunidade comprei. Ele não tão lindo e brilhante quanto os Indies que tenho, mas cumpre bem seu papel de glitter e é bem diferente dos demais porque tem glitter lilás quadrado, azul exagonal e lilás bem fininhos. Como não queria ele só usei o Pop Up da Colorama para completar a combo, pois depois que aprendi isso com a PL nunca mais uso glitters assim sozinhos.

Testing the upcoming Laowa 50mm 2:1 macro lens for M4/3 systems.
This set of photos were largely at 2:1 and F/6.3. Experimenting, hence some images have very thin DOF, while some were stacked.
Weird wave effect - looks like the waves beachcombing, and in 3D.

(a true diehard electronics geek (or a retired engineer) might think this looks like a graphical representation of the response of a feedforward comb filter.
Not me.
I might have once, but I'm much better now :)
A rare cross-sectional glimpse of natural honeycomb construction - here I hadn't given the colony a super of frames to work in ahead of time. So with characteristic bee impatience, they went through the ventilation hole in the cover board and did their natural animal architecture thing- and gave me several kg of honey in the process!
