Lobate ctenophore (commonly known as a comb jelly) delicately suspending a small crustacean within its transparent body.

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.

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!

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!

The mist appeared to be almost boiling through the trees, as it swirled and seethed on the wind.

Summer on Combs Lane...

This edge is on the northern side of Combs Moss - an isolated moorland above Combs and Chapel-en-le-Frith stretching south-eastwards towards Buxton

Static electricity likes me a lot; I don't reciprocate the feeling, so I prefer wooden combs. :p

Sun and rain on Combs Lane ...

Field off Combs Lane in Farnsfield

Lots of blue herons on the north shore of New Brunswick. I came across this guy one evening while walking near Cote Sainte Anne. There was beautiful golden light falling on the sand behind him. I wish the heron had been more in the light but I still think the shot turned out ok.

 

An interesting fact about great blue herons is that they have specialized feathers on their chest that continually grow and fray. The herons comb this “powder down” with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the down like a washcloth to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers as they preen. Applying the powder to their underparts protects their feathers against the slime and oils of swamps.

a superb bit of wild comb - amazing what you can do with a 1mg brain
