This is one of two images that I took for Macro Monday's theme. "Teeth"
I was trying to get an abstract in this shot of my saw blade.

Drawings for a schoolbook for Dutch teenagers.
Actually I had a lot of fun making it; schoolbooks ain't so boring as they used to be;-)
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae that occurs in Southern, North and East Africa, and a few localities in Iran. The species is IUCN Red Listed as vulnerable, as it suffered a substantial decline in its historic range in the 20th century due to habitat loss, poaching, illegal pet trade, and conflict with humans. By 2016, the global cheetah population has been estimated at approximately 7,100 individuals in the wild. Several African countries have taken steps to improve cheetah conservation measures.
It is the fastest land animal. The only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, the cheetah was formally described by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775. The cheetah is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and long spotted tail. Its lightly built, slender form is in sharp contrast with the robust build of the big cats, making it more similar to the cougar. The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to 90 cm (28 to 35 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 21–72 kg (46–159 lb). Though taller than the leopard, it is notably smaller than the lion. Typically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots.
Cheetahs are active mainly during the day, with hunting their major activity. Adult males are sociable despite their territoriality, forming groups called coalitions. Females are not territorial; they may be solitary or live with their offspring in home ranges. Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes and gazelles. They will stalk their prey to within 100–300 m (330–980 ft), charge towards it and kill it by tripping it during the chase and biting its throat to suffocate it to death. Cheetahs can reach speeds of 112 km/h (70 mph) in short bursts, but this is disputed by more recent measurements. The average speed of cheetahs is about 64 km/h (40 mph). Cheetahs are induced ovulators, breeding throughout the year. Gestation is nearly three months long, resulting in a litter of typically three to five cubs (the number can vary from one to eight). Weaning occurs at six months; siblings tend to stay together for some time. Cheetah cubs face higher mortality than most other mammals, especially in the Serengeti region. Cheetahs inhabit a variety of habitats – dry forests, scrub forests and savannahs.
Because of its prowess at hunting, the cheetah was tamed and used to kill game at hunts in the past. The animal has been widely depicted in art, literature, advertising and animation.
I bought a bubble machine for my daughters 2nd birthday.
Poppy has a ball biting and chasing bubbles. I have yet to get the perfect shot of her mid-air in her pursuits...guess I'll just keep trying
I'd like to say it's a little different but I'm not sure anymore. Everything I do is a little different. I have a show this May at Gallery Nucleus in Culver City. Make your reservations now.
It was freezing this morning in Luxembourg city. We also had some fog which froze over everything and produced some beautiful sights over the valleys. To the right we have the a Spanish watchtower and to the left the Bock (both part of the city's old fortifications) and the Pfaffenthal quarter down below.
This is a panorama made up of 2 horizontal shots.

A middle eastern wedding tradition where the bride and groom take turns dipping their pinky finger into honey and feed the other. Very lovely until someone bites down!

The biting cost of bananas - $13 kilo. Still! It is taking so much time for the prices to bounce back.
"Red Fox Parenting - Mouth Open Wide" by Patti Deters. A female red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and her pup play together on the lawn one early morning. The little juvenile, really still just a baby, tumbles and rolls around in the green grass trying to wrestle and get the better of his momma as they play in the grass, biting and snapping and using fake fighting techniques that will help later on when hunting.

"What's biting?"
"Stocked?"
"No, native. But the pond does need to be stocked with grass carp to help control the grasses!"
