Suitably less wild on the Jurassic Coast this morning, after yesterday's storm.
Popped down to West Bay and enjoyed a gentle sunrise at the edge of the harbour. I like how the water gets combed as it withdraws from the nooks and crannys of the girders here.
A lovely morning, with some nice light, for a change.
Have a great weekend :)

What a fantastic species - the curiously quirky Comb-crested Jacana! These birds spend their life living on bodies of water that contain waterlilies or similar aquatic vegetation. Their extra long legs & toes enable the Jacana to spread their weight evenly across waterlilies which gives them the appearance of walking on water. On our trip up North last year, I was particular keen to produce an image that show these wonderful feet!

One of the resident Comb-crested Jacana on Lake Kununurra in Western Australia. Photographing these birds were a real highlight for the trip.

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.
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!
A more careful inspection of my hand - no comb is allowed, especially near her tail, until food has been provided. Just don’t tell Bella that the food isn’t extra. I always brush & comb her before breakfast so the bribes are just the first part of her meal!
Happy Caturday.
Irediparra gallinacea
Commonly found around water in the Northern Territory, especially the Kakadu region....
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.

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.
