The top of Combs Moss on a sunny evening. Been a while since I have been out. The dull and windy weather never ends.
Ever since I was small I loved feeling
somebody comb my hair. It made me
go all sleepy and peaceful.

Comb Ridge is a classic example of a fold in the earth's crust known as a monocline. The ridge travels north-south for almost 80 miles. It was named after a rooster comb as it has numerous rounded edges. The west side of the ridge is a steep 700 foot cliff. The east side is a long decline with deeply eroded ravines, many with Anasazi ruins. When I took this photograph I was standing about 15 feet from the edge of the cliff and the wind was blowing fiercely. Wilbur was standing near the cliff edge to my left. It was amazing to stand close to the edge with the wind howling around us. A short distance behind us was the petroglyph known as the Procession Panel.
Comb Ridge is a huge monocline that is more than 80 miles (103Km) long made of Navajo Sandstone. At this point it is over 1000 feet (305 m) higher than the wash below it.

Hi, my name is Travis and I take pictures of great blue herons.
I made it almost 11 days without posting a heron photo.

Nuvole pettinate dal vento raccolgono l'ultima luce del sole.
Oggi, finalmente, piove. Un pochino.. sempre meglio che niente...

Also known as the lotusbird or lilytrotter. Like other jacana species, its enormous feet are adapted to the floating vegetation of tropical freshwater wetlands.

Comb Ridge in Southeastern Utah. This ridge is nearly 80 miles long. This view is looking north where it merges with the Abajo Mountains.

Aka Lilly Trotter or Lotusbird - the Jacana has adapted to walking on floating Lilly leaves by virtue of enormously elongated feet which spread the birds (albeit light) weight over a wide surface area. Found in tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands, including lagoons, billabongs, swamps, lakes, rivers, sewage ponds and dams, providing there is adequate floating vegetation.
The biggest threat to survival occurs at the egg stage. The hatching rate is very low with many eggs being lost (mainly to predators). Breeding success is enhanced by the female laying several small eggs (rather than fewer, larger ones) and by females having several mates incubating clutches of their eggs. Females abandon their partner after laying eggs. The male will incubate the eggs and keep a watchful eye on the chicks. If dad senses a threat, he picks the chicks up under his specially adapted wings and carries them off to safety. So, unusually for a bird, it is the male alone that incubates the eggs although the female does help to defend the territory. Larger females produce somewhat larger eggs, improving success if the eggs survive predation.
Busy and late entry as usual. Was thinking of something that no one will post but out of idea till after shower, then this came to me as an idea.
Asked my kid to let me comb her hair and took this for my entry to MM.
Limonovsky large comb is one of the most majestic and beautiful rocks on the Yuryuzan' river. It is a huge stone wall with a length of 1 km and a height of 70 m. The views of the river valley from it are simply stunning.
