The colors are wonky on this, but you can see basically how it came out. I like it. (Done with a big-toothed comb dragged across wet paint.)
Ctenophora (/tɨˈnɒfərə/; singular ctenophore, /ˈtɛnəfɔr/ or /ˈtiːnəfɔr/; from the Greek κτείς kteis 'comb' and φέρω pherō 'carry'; commonly known as comb jellies) is a phylum of animals that live in marine waters worldwide.
Their most distinctive feature is the "combs", groups of cilia they use for swimming.
The comb rows of most planktonic ctenophores produce a rainbow effect, which is not caused by bioluminescence but by the scattering of light as the combs move.

Ricoh FF-90
Agfaphoto APX 100 (shot @ ASA 80)
(Rodinal 1:50 10 min @ 20C)
Very happy that I got my FF-90 working properly again with a small trick that I found online. It may as well be among the best three P&S cameras I've used optically, as well as ergonomically. Rodinal goes very well with APX 100, great sharpness, contrast and just the right amount of grain, much better than the T-Max I used so far.

Description: Comb grave in Okalona Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.

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.

Interesting little water birds which spend their entire life on water, even nesting on the lily leaves. Their large toes enable them to spread their weight and walk across the leaves and they also fly for short distances when necessary. There is a large population of them in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory where this photograph was taken.
This stylist cockily sticks the comb into her own hair, much like a pencil behind the ear, for when she needs to use it.
On this frame you can see they started filling it with honey in the middle and are workin their way out. Where its pale translucent yellow thats the "foundation" wax we put in to get them started (they'd do it themselves if we didn't but this saves them work and makes sure its straight).

Out of reach and destined for failure.
About honeybee swarms.
Usually when the parent colony emits a reproductive swarm, the bees will gather together en masse on a nearby tree branch and remain in a cluster for a day or so while the scout bees fly out in search of a new home site. Occasionally, instead of moving on to a more suitable location the colony will commence comb building. Unfortunately these open air nests rarely survive.

Jeffrey Combs played Dr. Herbert West, the protagonist from the infamous "Re-Animator" films. I told him my favorite line: "You'll never get credit for my discovery, who's gonna believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow." The last part of the quote is what Jeffrey signed on my "Re-Animator Millennium Edition." This guy is so funny!
