This little guy was about $5 from a bargain store and he's hilarious! When you switch him on he moves about with his 'bump & go' action while heroically shouting, "Fire! Don't move! Drop the gun!" accompanied by a cacophony of noisy gunfire. All the while, the cogs in his chest whir around while a light in his head flashes. All that noise for such a little robot.
My favorite soda drink - hard to find, but comes in cobalt glass bottles. "Bawls" is a guarana drink with high, high, high caffeine - and it works great to wake you up. Largest view shows delicate glass waves in the lower portion.
Seen (a couple of months early) in the Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens. So tender, so beautiful!
This orchid is real, the bloom is about 3 inches in diameter and sits in front of a stained glass window in the bathroom. The sunlight was streaming through and caused the colors from the window to be reflected in the bloom's petals.
Oh, Nalgene, how I love thee.
One of my most famous photo-a-day objects is the Nalgene bottle. It keeps me hydrated, and is more fashionable to carry than a man purse. Here it is, in the sunlight, doing what translucent colored bottles do.
At Clay Camp this year, I took Kim Day's translucent Cane class. First time I ever made a bangle, and love how it turned out.

I wasn't really set up to take a flight shot the moment this guy flew by, which resulted in shooting much slower shutter speed than usual...Ill take luck over skill any day! Thought this shot was cool as the sun shining thru the wing allows the wing bone to be clearly seen...
Thanks for looking...

Translucent yellow green glass cup with same color loop handles attached to the sides over the upper decorative frieze.
The body of the vessel is decorated with a plain band below the rim above two horizontal friezes in relief; on the upper, which is bounded above and below by a fine raised line, two Greek inscriptions, each within a tabula ansata (two handled tablet, used as a visual device on many Roman works of art as a label); one flanked by ivy sprays with leaves and berries and the other by vine sprays with leaves and bunches of grapes; both sets of foliage issuing from two vertically fluted colonettes with base and Ionic capital, set at sides near handles; dividing the upper from the lower frieze, a broad projecting horizontal ridge; on the lower frieze, close-set vertical flutes, rounded at both ends; on outer section of bottom, a diagonal net pattern; three raised concentric circles and central dot on base.
Broken and cracked, with one handle missing and large gap and two smaller chips in rim; a few pinprick bubbles; faint weathering and iridescence.
Sides blown in a three-part mold, with mold marks extending to ridge below vertical flutes; separate saucer-shaped mold for underside and bottom.
Mold-blowing developed in the early decades of the 1st century CE as an offshoot of free-blowing. The earliest makers of mold-blown glass probably came from the Syro-Palestinian region, although their wares quickly became popular throughout the Roman Empire. The most famous and attractive vessels are signed in Greek by Ennion, as this one is; about thirty examples of his work survive today.
Inscribed in Greek: "Ennion made [me/it]" and "May the buyer be remembered". Ennion probably lived and worked in the city of Sidon, in the province of Roman Syria (today's Lebanon). Although his name was Semitic in origin, he signed his work in Greek, the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean in his time. He is thought to have been a Phoenician, and some scholars believe that later in life, with growing fame and demand, he moved to the north Italian city of Aquileia, closer to Rome and its markets.
Roman, 1st half of 1st century CE.
