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.

I love my liberal city, 150,000+ women, men and children marched yesterday! We had a wall of people 3.6 miles long marching from Judkins park in the International District to the Space Needle. We were the third largest march in the country only L.A. and D.C. were larger. Thank-you one and all for walking.

Ivory or a fine-grained wood were the materials preferred for combs, with ivory the most popular for luxury goods. Indeed this comb depicts typical pastimes of wealthy nobles. On one side, couples dance in a garden as a seated lady plays a portable organ. The other side depicts hunters, their hunting dogs, and a deer that has been trapped. The teeth are original wtih fine teeth on one side and coarser ones on the other. Traces of the original paint on the trees and costumes and the gilding on the hair of the figures are preserved.

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.

What was he looking for, here in the Vangai River ???
Didn't we all looked for small treasures when we were young and keeping them all life long?
Enjoy dreams and imagine a beautiful world, as long you can, all your life, with wondering eyes of an eternal youth to look through the surface of the water to discover a rich world. Don't let your mind get too much troubled by waves coming from elsewhere.
Comb the river of life.

Beach finds: gull skull (kittiwake?) with iron-stone bearing fossilised sea creatures including bi-valves and belemnites
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!
