As it is very trendy, nowadays, to take a picture of your coffee.....here is my contribution.....in case I'm left out of the trend!!!!!
Nepenthes (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz/) is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises about 170 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (three) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey cups" refers to the fact that monkeys were once thought to drink rainwater from the pitchers, however this is false, the pitchers are filled with digestive fluids not water and monkeys do not drink from them.

On our holiday they had great cups with just the right handles. I know this is not an original idea, but I just wanted to do this for a long time. So indeed this is not very creative, yet I think the outcome is appealing to the eye.
The red background is made of a light shining through a bottle of lemonade.
Espresso, as long as it's decaf, I drink it every day, usually a latte in the morning. Have to admit it was an acquired taste, picked up in Italy.

Found these colorful plastic cups with great shapes that make an interesting still life. Finding all these forgotten items stuffed away throughout the house to hopefully photo during the quarantine.

Also known as: Hedgehog Cactus, Mojave Mound Cactus, Kingcup Cactus, That Spiny Thing You’ll Regret Touching
This cactus is the prom queen of the desert—short, spiky, and radiant in red. The flowers look like someone dipped a shot glass in cherry Kool-Aid and dared it to grow on a porcupine.
It thrives in dry, rocky places where most plants say, “Nope,” and curl up to die. Not the Claret Cup. This one digs in, throws shade (literally none), and blooms like it’s starring in a spring fashion show for hummingbirds.
Why do I love it?
Because it’s tough, it’s gorgeous, and it only stabs you if you get too close, which is also how I feel about some relatives.
Couplet:
It blooms like a torch in the desert's embrace,
Just don't try to hug it—it'll scratch up your face.
For this week's theme I knew I wanted to include a piece from our rather large collection of custom pottery. Trouble was picking which piece and seeing them as a macro shot. In the end I picked my well used and favorite coffee mug. With my wife's new to-go mug as a background.
These pieces are beautiful hand thrown pottery from Archival Designs of Kansas City. (www.archivaldesignskc.com/portfolio/) Which just happens to be the studio of my wife's sister and her husband who do amazing work.
