This comb is used several times a day. So it's about time to do something artful with it. I had in mind to put diagonals in the picture. I used a led light behind the object to make long shadows in order to get an extra diagonal.

Time to spruce up a bit!
My 9th entry for the ABS Builder Challenge Season 1 Finale.
The brush uses a net that allows the bristles to move around a bit, so moving one bristle affects other bristles. The chord for the hair dryer is a soccer goalie control piece. All of the teeth of the comb are well attached to the frame.
The curved dark red seed part was used well over 60 times.
Go Lavender!

Just look at the size of those feet!! That makes it possible for him to walk on Lily pads and other water vegetation.

Comb-crested Jacana are perfectly adapted for life on freshwater bodies that are rich with floating aquatic vegetation such as waterlilies. Their most distinctive feature is their disproportionately long legs & extremely large toes. This unique anatomy allows them to effortlessly distribute their weight across the delicate leaves, creating the illusion that they are walking on the water's surface. This mastery of balance enables them to forage for seeds, insects, & other small invertebrates directly from the floating mat of plants.

Comb-tooth fungus, might be hericium ramosum, or might be hericium coralloides. Either way, it is definitely of the genus Hericium, the family of comb tooth fungi.

A "Macro Mondays" submission on the topic "stripes". I could not find any natural stripes, but decided that two combs (plus the shadow of one of them) would make some suitable stripes. The Moire pattern is a bonus.
Abandoned sometime ago but mostly untouched and frozen in time. This Textile factory that went out of business. Very photogenic and amazing to see.

Hunting prey in the last light of the day.
A closeup of my lovely Juusan-ya boxwood comb. The Juusan-ya combs are apparently rather famous, and the skills of the Juusan-ya master are so highly regarded that, when the Ise Shrines are renewed every 20 years, a set of Juusan-ya combs are always included in the new treasures placed in the shrine. Incidentally, if you include the time it takes to grow the tree, treat the wood, and actually carve the comb, a single comb can take 20-30 years to make.

A cold and Frosty Combs Reservoir. Following a recent Cold snap. Water is still ice free but didn't fancy a dip that day!
The mist appeared to be almost boiling through the trees, as it swirled and seethed on the wind.

I'm not sure this is a portfolio-worthy image, it seems more of a travel photo. But I want to share it because I find this such a fascinating place, here seen at sunset in late October.
The Comb Ridge runs nearly 80 miles through southeastern Utah into Arizona. It's just another weird place in Utah, of which there seems to be a limitless supply.
The foreground is another feature common of Utah landscapes, a ground of solid rock, without dirt or sand or any other organic medium. I've run into this type of hard ground in the Boulder area as well, probably 75 miles to the west and on the other side of the Colorado River.
I had limited time in this area - but I think there are much better compositions of this strange place to be had. I hope to return some day.

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'd seen many wonderful images of them from this lagoon, so I was hopeful for success.
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!
After a couple of very awkward (& hilarious!) attempts, the male finally managed to do the deed. And the circle of life continues! Such a thrill to capture this behaviour!
Morning routine - I always brush & comb Daisy before breakfast. She'd like to point out that she does NOT have fleas! I use a flea comb only because her fur is so fine that it's the only type of comb that works properly.
Happy Caturday!

Having grown my hair a lot longer than I usually do and needing to keep it tidy I have to comb it before I leave for work. At some point I may have a No. 2 hairstyle again where a comb would be completely unnecessary.
Here I used a peg to keep the comb upright on a white tile and backlit it using my desk lamp. The intention was to show shadows extending from the teeth which worked well. I also found that I got reflections in the tile so I composed for this in portrait rather than landscape.
