The turquoise water around Għar iċ-Ċomb, located in the northwestern part of Malta, is stunningly clear.
Back when I was still a working stiff, I often took little detours on my way to work to catch the morning light along the bay. I recently found this little marshland scene while combing through the archives and I was immediately back standing along the bay on a soft winter morning watching the egrets comb the marshland for their breakfast. One of my contacts recently remarked that photos are little captured memories that forever memorialize a specific moment in time. I so agree with that. At the time, I thought it was a great justification for being late to work. I'm not sure my boss felt the same, but hey, once you hit your 60's I think you deserve a little slack.

Comb from wasp (possibly hornet) nest that was located in a dead tree that was felled. The liquid inside the cells is water, as it was raining after it got exposed.
Plaster z gniazda os (być może szerszeni), które znajdowało się w zrąbanym martwym drzewie. Ciesz w komórkach plastra to woda z deszczu, który spadł po odsłonięciu gniazda.

When walking or driving to Combs from Stowmarket, glance left across the fields from Poplar Hill and you will see a magnificent 15th Century Church which has been a place of Christian worship for nearly 800 years. This is St Mary's, the parish church for Combs and Combs Ford.

This is Hmong woman Chai. The hand made Aluminum comb she has is a traditional gift from a boyfriend or most often a husband. Now a days most women have the plastic variety combs that comes in all colors but you can still those traditional ones and normally they will not sell them.
The Black Hmong are the 3rd largest minority in Vietnam with nearly 900,000 people. In the Sapa region there are about 35,000 Black Hmong residing in the surrounding 17 villages and they account for about 50% of the area population. Most reside at an altitude of 1,600 – 1,700 meters above sea level in this stunningly beautiful region they call “the city above the clouds”. The Hmong started migrating to Vietnam from China in the last 300 years.
In this region about half the Hmong are Catholic and half animistic. They live of the land growing rice and corn and they all believe in the spirits.
