Close up of the frilly branchlets of comb tooth fungus. Might be hericium ramosum, or might be hericium coralloides. Either way, it is definitely of the genus Hericium, the comb tooth fungi.
During our stay in Bluff, Utah we explored both sides of Comb Ridge. We have barely scratched the surface of all there is to see in this area. Comb Ridge is an 80 mile long monocline running north and south. The west side is a cliff and the east side is steeply tilted and is fractured by many eroded canyons which often shelter ancestral Puebloan ruins. The name comes from the jagged appearance of the ridge which is similar in shape to a rooster comb.
Wilbur and I are new to drone flying. Hopefully we can figure out video editing too!
The weather yesterday morning was not great so I figured a recce at a new location was the best way to spend the morning. I only took a few shots, mainly for reference but this little cascade caught my eye so I took a little bit more time over this composition.
A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Everyday carry". This is something I carry every day - a comb! I have included my comb and its backup, to make a more interesting picture.
Combs Moss is a Kinder Scout-esque plateau just to the North of Buxton and like it’s bigger brother can be circumnavigated fully, with great views all around.
Comb Jellies - Ctenophoroa
These jellyfish look-alikes are not taxonomically related to jellies but we think these creatures are too interesting not to share! Their beautiful ovoid bodies are lined with thousands of tiny hair-like structures called cilia that they use to propel themselves through the water, often illuminating with bioluminescence. Even though these jellies may look similar to jellyfish, they have a major difference that is perhaps in our favor – they don’t sting! That’s right, these gentle jellies do not have nematocysts. Instead of using a powerful sting to capture their prey, they use colloblasts, which are sticky cells that essentially glue their prey to their tentacles. So, have no fear in handling one of these delicate creatures!

The Venus Comb is a marine gastropod of the genus Murex native of the coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific area. I aquired this shell in 1973 while serving in the Air Force stationed in Guam.

Went for a walk near the Reservoir to capture sunset, this is what I got :)
Turns out I should have brought a torch and some bright clothing as the roads nearby didn't have Street lamps... Whoops...
Comb crested jacana at Corroboree Billabong Northern Territory Australia. I think this is the best photo that i have taken of one of them.
... four brand new combs were hanging from the lintel - what a pity we couldn't have kept it like this as an observation hive. It was joke - but his wife hesitated for a moment as I showed her returning foragers doing their famous figure-of-eight dance. Out of the shower and into a bit of naked bee observation - not something you can often do! But he was not convinced. he wanted them out and I set about trying to transfer the colony to a hive ...

One of my most wanted targets on our trip to The Kimberleys were these Comb-crested Jacana. Lily Creek Lagoon is well known for its bird life, particular these peculiar waterbirds.
I had no idea what I would witness on our first evening at the lagoon!
I was watching one particular Jacana fuss about a specific spot on the lagoon. After a few minutes, she started calling. Within seconds, her partner was on the scene & ready for action! Over the next minute or two I watched the male awkwardly try & stabalise himself on his partner's back, which was clearly a tall order with those fantastic feet! While those feet are an asset for walking over lily pads, they present somewhat of a challenge when attempting to reproduce!
This image was moments before the male made several attempts to mount the female.
