The Andean Condor is the largest flying bird in the Western hemisphere, with a wingspan of 3 m and a weight of 9 - 12 kg. These large wings allow the condors to soar on rising thermals of air when looking for food, and the ruff of white feathers around their neck acts like a scarf to keep them warm when flying at such heights. Like many vultures, Andean condors have featherless heads to prevent parasites latching on from the carcasses they are feeding on. On top of that, males and females look very different. The males have a large, fleshy comb on their head and their eyes are brown whereas female's eyes are garnet red.

"what tangled webs we weave...."
Only deception here tho' is the fact that he's only about 1/2cm across (even with his legs out!) and that's a PicMonkey frame, not my grubby kitchen window! Lol :@)
My printer died, so I had to get a new one - it's brilliant, lovely print....then I had to treat myself to a comb binder as well, so that I can print and bind my precious tutorials... :-)
Description: Comb grave in McManus-Roberts Cemetery, Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: January 2, 2013
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

The new combs are pretty good. So far they're on their own bars.
I did a hive inspection demo for my grandma.
Real nice comb. Not perfectly straight on the bar, but okay. I love the symmetrical shape of this comb.
Turtle Soup Inspiration 9/5 and Memorable Seasons 9/8 Recipe - This is a picture of my Granddaughter Molly at Sea World in the summer of 2011. While Steve and Noah were riding the roller coaster, Molly and I looked at the aquarium in the building below it. She was SUPER surprised and happy to see the comb jellyfish! She informed me that while these were some of the smallest jellyfish, they were also the most poisonous! Amazing! This is one of my all time fav pics! For the recipe I have the one picture, 2 mats (white cardstock and the blue and white stripe), 3 patterned paper strips – quote; tag, 2 pieces of stripe paper; and 4 embellies – Black scallops, quote tag, brads, bling and lots of words.
