Murex Pecten, commonly know as a Mermaid's Comb or Venus Comb.

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.

Last throes of autumn for a few of trees on Combs Lane...very inconsistent this year...

I love the brilliant red color of this common Florida shrub, and the pink ruffled edges of the green bud-studded seed comb that's beginning to form. Also, take a look at the long golden filaments that used to reach all the way to the end of the flower and now still tie them there hanging in the breeze. Nearby spiders have added their magic too... tethering in place this cluster with their angular glowing webs.

 

Odontonema strictum. Common Names: firespike, cardinal guard, scarlet flame. Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus Family). Frequently found in my neighborhood in Miami. Beautiful when the combs enlarge and dry.

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.

What a joke. Happy Friday and weekend to you.

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.

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.

Comb crested jacana at Corroboree Billabong Northern Territory Australia. I think this is the best photo that i have taken of one of them.

Déjà dans l'ombre...car le soleil passe plus vite sur ce versant et s'attarde plus longtemps sur le versant du Forez. Chaussadis se trouve dans une combe, ce qui accentue la rapidité du passage solaire.

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...

Fremont's cottonwoods in Comb Wash, below Comb Ridge in Utah

... 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.

Photographed in Sri Lanka.

May you have a wonderful weekend, take care.

Cockscomb flowers are also known as Wool Flowers or Brain Celosia, suggestive of a highly colored brain. The flowers belong to the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. Cockscomb blooms with a compacted crested head 2-5 inches across, on leafy stems that are 12-28 inches long. The flower's name is suggestive of a rooster's comb.

 

Cockscomb flowers are seen in vibrant yellows, pinks, reds and gold colors.

Cockscomb has no fragrance.

The Cockscomb flower has 5-14 days of vase life.

The contorted floral heads of the crested types of Cockscomb continue to enlarge throughout the growing season and often have colorful foliage as a complement.

Standing on long stiff stems, Cockscomb makes excellent fresh as well as a dried cut flowers.

 

Celosia species include Celosia argentea and Celosia spicata. Cockscombs are the crested variety (Celosia cristata). The flowers come in attractive red leafed varieties as well. Although there are many dwarf cultivars available today, the original types were fairly tall plants. Three forms were introduced into England from Asia in 1570.
