Comb Ridge rises abruptly on the western side, rising 600 feet above the adjacent landscape, and slopes more gradually to the east near Butler Wash. The Ridge is 30 miles long and parallels Cedar Mesa, which is to the west. Photo taken at sunset from Comb Ridge looking south.
This week the group Macro Mondays have challenged us to get up close and personal with everyday objects with a theme of "Abstract in Macro".
The subject is a comb.
Location: Kuala Lumpur.
In the midst of a thousand flock of birds lingering my eyes, particullary one captured my attention at the birdpark. The dash of Cock's comb color totally stunned me.

The nests of most true paper wasps are characterized by having open combs with cells for brood rearing, and a 'petiole', or constricted stalk, that anchors the nest. Paper wasps secrete a chemical which repels ants, which they spread around the base of the anchor to prevent the loss of eggs or brood.
Most social wasps of the family Vespidae make nests from paper, but some stenogastrine species, such as Liostenogaster flavolineata, use mud. A small group of eusocial crabronid wasps, of the genus Microstigmus (the only eusocial wasps outside the family Vespidae), also construct nests out of chewed plant fibers, though the nest consistency is quite different from those of true paper wasps, due to the absence of wood fibers, and the use of silk to bind the fibers.
Nests can be found in sheltered areas, such as the eaves of a house, the branches of a tree, or on the end of an open pipe (for example, of an old clothesline).

A Comb Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos) was framed after a long wait for it. From the distance, gradually it came closer while foraging and my patience was well paid with this beautiful close up! This is definitely one of the most beautiful ducks I have seen. Pics was taken from a wetland in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
A lovely view of the Derbyshire countryside, taken near Combs village on a day when it really didn't seem to know whether to rain or shine. I purposely got the overhanging branch in the shot because I felt it added an unusual twist and also gave the vague impression of black lightning - to me anyway :-)

Jacana! The Jesus-bird!
Although locally common up North, I get a little bit excited every time I see one of these beauties as we don't see them in my home state.
Their ridiculously long legs & toes, perfectly adapted to enable them to traverse the floating vegetation of the freshwater wetlands, swamps & lakes in which they live, make for really interesting photographic subjects. It's also why they go by the name Jesus-bird, for their ability to seemingly walk on water!
During our Darwin trip, we visited the world-renowned Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, about one hour East of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Situated within the Adelaide & Mary River Floodplains, during the wet season this reserve is home to hundreds of thousands of birds of numerous species. Unfortunately it was a little late in the dry season when we visited & much of the accessible water had receded, however the dam itself was still plentiful.
There were several Jacana dashing about the lily pads, busily hunting prey amongst & underneath the vegetation. I'll always stop & spend some time trying to photograph this species, so I was pleased when I caught this active bird as it landed on a lily pad having flown in from a nearby pad.
See if you can spoot the bonus Dragonfly!
