With a measly 105mm lens, I think I may have been too close to this majestic deer in Richmond Park. He showed me his dentures, I got the hint and stepped away from his space.
After a while when he got used to my presence we had a great photo session together. I'm pretty sure he wanted to apologise for his earlier bad manners. All is forgiven and I'll be back in a couple of months during rutting with a longer telephoto.
I dare you to centre your mouse and double click!
A crocodile frog with dentures?
Not quite. ....but the markings on the lower jaw do closely resemble an extremely fine set of chompers.....

These dentures were conspicuously displayed on a wall in Vilnius, Lithuania, perhaps in the hope of improving business.
Just about every small town in the Midwest has one or more of these…an empty lot caused by the removal of one of the old buildings in a commercial row. Looking a bit like a missing tooth, what can you do with it? The days of commercial prosperity have flown the coop and about all you have now that is viable is a Casey’s gas station and a Dollar Store. These old commercial rows present a challenging situation for a bold entrepreneur who can think outside the box. Maybe we should just order dentures.
Crediting this a bit differently, just to help identify the individual components of the head/face, for those curious about how this was pieced together.
Tattoo: Viking Tattoo + 3D Shine by This is Wrong, available now at The Warehouse Sale, and afterwards at the This is Wrong Mainstore.

Does this guy look like a grumpy old man to anyone, one without his dentures in?
I wouldn't argue with one though. Emus are the only birds that have calf muscles, they’ll kick you into touch!
So, what are they exactly - they belong to a group of flightless running birds known as ratites, the most primitive of the modern bird families. The ratite family includes the kiwi, ostrich, cassowary, and rhea, all birds found only in the Southern Hemisphere. The emu is the second-largest living bird in the world (the ostrich is the largest).
If you want to listen to a light-hearted ditty about an emu to make you smile I can recommend:

Have a great weekend everyone, hope you don't get kicked by an emu :)

Amsterdam, Festival Light - this work of art Eye_Beacon is located to the right side on the bridge but was inspired by what happens in water, in the deep dark sea to be exact. Organisms that live in the dark should create and emit their own light. This mechanism is known as bioluminescence and is used to communicate with other organisms or for other animal species or to attract prey. Eye_Beacon by UNStudio consists of two cubes linked together by specially produced stretch fabric. By means of led projections change the colors of the artwork constant.
The Stopera, Central in the picture, (a contraction of City Hall and Opera) is the Amsterdam building complex of City Hall and Opera, the musical theatre. Having regard to the appearance when one is on the opposite located Blue bridge, call many Amsterdammers the building also the “dentures”.
AMSTERDAM, Festival Light - Dit kunstwerk Eye_Beacon bevindt zich rechts op de brug maar is geïnspireerd door wat er in water gebeurt, in de diepe donkere zee om precies te zijn. Organismen die in het donker leven moeten hier hun eigen licht creëren en uitstralen. Dit mechanisme staat bekend als bioluminescentie en wordt gebruikt om te communiceren met andere organismen of om andere diersoorten of prooien aan te trekken. Eye_Beacon van UNStudio bestaat uit twee kubussen die met elkaar verbonden zijn door speciaal geproduceerde rekbare stof. Door middel van led projecties veranderen de kleuren van het kunstwerk constant.
De Stopera, centraal op de foto, (een samentrekking van stadhuis en opera) is het Amsterdamse gebouwencomplex van stadhuis en opera, het Muziektheater. Gelet op de uitstraling wanneer men staat op de schuin tegenover gelegen Blauwbrug, noemen veel Amsterdammers het gebouw ook wel “Het Kunstgebit”.

- the height of the closed dentures is 4.7cm, so inclusive the chattering movement the total heigth stays within the allowed dimension.

A previously unpublished shot from a brief shoot with Eddie, a stranger I met on the streets of the city. After he had done lighting up a cigarette and telling me his wonderful life story, he lit up the are with a beautifully warm and natural smile. I wonder how he has fared during the last 12 months of pandemic. This was taken in April 2019. Find out more about Eddie in my '100 Strangers' album here on Flickr. flic.kr/s/aHsjQpULHL
Stay safe everyone.
.... your senses to foods that stick to your dentures!
Across Fifth Avenue from The Plaza Hotel you will find the toy emporium, FAO Schwartz. In 2009, this once unique, magical bazaar of pricey toys was taken over by Toys R Us. The main floor is now dominated by candy......... Still, it's a colorful world where smiles take over frowns and the child in all of us suddenly appears.
Crunchy gummy bears available at FAO Schwartz in Manhattan.

When we first moved to Carlsbad Tom and I would going running 2-3 times a week. We lived a mile from the beach and would run that mile and then up the coast to the state park campground and back (about 12 miles total). We would find all sorts of things along the way - coins, sunglasses, ear rings, toys, even a bag of pot and some dentures! For fun we bought a shadow box and filled it up and hung it in the garage.
Here it is, a work in progress.

"who stole my dentures" . This tortoise could have lost a lot of dentures over the years , but can still mow the lawn without them .
Gloria is getting ready for a hot date and making sure her dentures are clean!
I can't believe I'm posting this it really is so unflattering (for poor Gloria!) I was so excited when I had the idea but no idea where to get dentures from...I assure you they are not mine (or Gloria's). After trying all the local dentists, I posted a request on a local re-use site, I really didn't expect anyone to reply but was delighted when someone offered me a denture. Being fastidious, Gloria is bleaching it!
I took two Gloria pics today as I need to make up a panel for a camera club competition. My original pic won the people competition. I really don't know If I will have the courage to post the other pic, this is bad enough. Gloria is a bit outrageous...I don't know where she gets it from!

No one chooses his end. And yet, God allows doctors to shorten lives. When I asked Dom David about this subject, a silence came over the room where we had been speaking for so many hours: “Today, the problem of sedation is serious. We have to fight against intolerable sufferings. But if we do not feel pain anymore, life goes away. Now, with the progress of analgesics, we no longer feel anything. We no longer feel life. We no longer feel humanity. We no longer feel God approaching. Man becomes an abstract machine. Several brothers wanted to write instructions for the end of life. They refuse life-prolonging interventions, and they do not want deep sedation. We would all like to die in our sleep. The doctors induce artificial comas to be certain that the patient does not suffer anymore. Fear is a bad counselor. It is the ultimate antithesis of faith. Our materialist societies have an irrepressible obsession with pain. Why has our world forgotten that life does not exist without suffering? In the West, we are well-off, and we have trouble imagining the daily lives of the vast majority of mankind. How should I react when a ninety-year-old monk asks for a hearing aid? How should I react when this investment of three thousand euros could help twenty people in an African village? How should I react when a ninety-five-year-old brother asks for new dentures? When you consider we eat mostly eggs, fish, and little meat. . . There are hypochondriac monks. These are weaknesses. If a brother agrees to work on this weakness, a big step is made. His fault is shocking, but God pardons everything.”
-NICOLAS DIAT, A Time to Die Monks on the Threshold of Eternal Life
One thing about going out nearly every day to photograph the fox is I never know what else I might run into.
I saw this cow feeding on willow leaves and caught her with her mouth open and showing off her dentures. Also, got a good look at the ridges in the roof of her mouth. Notice, there aren't any upper front teeth. They do have a nice set of back molars to grind up any vegetation that they eat.
Yesterday, in the same area, I saw a cow with a big calf and a small bull.

Up through the ice and into the sunshine, the river otter carries a particle of ice on its head, showing off the dentures that were crushing so many fish...
This has got to be the silliest face I have ever seen on a lab. He looks like he lost his mind, but he's really happy and having a great time.

Old Olive recounts her long life's story - a mouthwash and some dentures wouldn't go amiss if you are in the front seats
Not the most attractive subject......but still a visitor to our garden that I'm sure has a part to play in the balance of things....not too sure Julie would agree. ;-))
Apologies for the clarity but he'd marched up out of the leaf litter then wasn't too keen to hang around for the perfect pose before scurrying back into the darkness of the garden.
Wolfspiders are fairly nomadic and great hunters relying on ambush and pounce techniques as opposed to large webs. They have long strong legs and a great set of "dentures" as can be seem in this image. They are poisonous but of more nuisance value to humans...if bitten.

This is my entry for this week's Macro Mondays challenge, Cogwheel.
It is nearly impossible to imagine our lives without some form of cogwheel component or assembly two steps from us.
Without these, there'd be no practical power transmission of any kind!
Gear design, to this day, is one of the most complex subjects in the mechanical industry.
In fact, cogwheel / gear (along with a Spanner) is one of the most recognised mechanical components on the planet. That is why it is used to represent "Settings" on apps, phones, websites, cars and pretty much every indicative sign.
This particular component is a compound gear that is used to vary the drive ratio in a drive train.
