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

Scenes from Combs Lane in black and white

On the lockdown walking route earlier in the month...

Comb-crested Jacana seen at the the Corroboree Billabong (Northern Territory, Australia)

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...

These Jellies are always a challenge to capture because the tank is so dark and they move quite a bit. I captured this one a little while ago and found it in the archives.

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 :)

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.

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 more shot of Comb Ridge. This time with a spotlight on one section.

Skittish

even of

its shadow,

worthless wings,

ruby comb,

grit for brains,

insatiable,

dawn to dusk

hunger--

scabbles

peck pecks:

crumbles,

scratch,

mealies,

nit-sized

bugs and

at twilight

flutters up

to perch

claws sunk

deep in

dreams

of grubs

Mid December on Combs Lane...

More Combs Lane trees...

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!

Sun and rain on Combs Lane ...

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.
