   Yes, it's a hand carding comb (the way I learned it at girl scout meetings,) made for carding cotton. yes,the bristle design lives on in pet brushes.

   btw, PanoTools is a better hammer for correcting for lens distortion and a lot more-just a brief time with it (and 1.3 degrees ccw rotation) I could turn this into this. and do it in batches.

   ! [just to hold a place for pix]

   got the handle on my vine assassinater replaced, and while surveying the extent of reclaimed yard I found these winsome blossoms taking advantage of the lack of roofing despite the rough neighborhood.

   no, actually. it's at the other end of the scale.

   let's back off a bit. laying flat it's ~1/4" x ~3-1/2" x ~1-1/4". small hand tool related to grooming and clothes. mostly plastic.

    Our leaves are starting to change colors here too. They say this should be a good 'color' year because of the dry drought conditions we've had.

    If it wasn't for the red paint and now the bolts, it appeared to be the hole for a breather in the old Fords for the oil. LOL You gt me goodgotd

    let's widen the view a bit. this part you rarely see except when being installed- though there are lots of them around.

    u got it- gotta wait on posting pix but it's the housing at the bottom of a fire hydrant where the actual valve is.

    fwiw that's me ivy and the right fork up the hill is mine. I took this picture from very close to where google maps says my house is. call it a 35 meter diagonal offset.

    Well I finally got another one! Ta daaaaa! You sure get some great close up panorama shots with your camera! But where's the roses? All I see are leaves? LOL

    them's all rose leaves. rosa muliflora makes a nice hillside cover. (there's about a bazillion hips hidden in there)

    you should be able to get shots just like that- I'm getting better at holding the camera steady.

    both of those last were cropped for effect, to get the best looking parts to shine.
