Exquisite Roman glass cup signed by master glassmaker ‘Ennion’. AD 30-70.
Ennion was the first glassmaker to ‘brand’ his work by incorporating his name into the mould’s design, some 2000 years ago!

![Photo of an intact Roman two-handled translucent cobalt blue glass cup dated AD 30-70. The cup has a cylindrical body with vertical sides and two narrow strap handles attached to each side as ear-shaped loops. The cup is mould-blown with relief decoration on the body which incorporates two inscriptions in Greek, one on each side of the cup. One side reads ‘ENNIWN/ENOIH/CEN’ (‘Ennion made [it]'). The other side reads ‘MNHOH/O AOPA/ZNW translated as ‘May the buyer be remembered’.
Dimensions: Height 2½ in. (6.4 cm), diameter (rim): 3% in. (9.5 cm)
Collection Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Adria, Italy.
Incredibly this is one of two matching cups blown from the same mould, found together in a Roman tomb at Cuora, near Adria, Italy, in the early 1900s. The matching cup is now part of the collections at the Corning Museum of Glass](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreieyzv5zqbzdfqwmjq2voan57tagx23eg734blorwveesickcrkg4i@jpeg)

Had a visitor to some kinda red berry bush in my yard. Was fun to watch, it munched on at least a dozen berries before fluttering off. One of those moments where being a camera nerd and having a 600mm lens in arms reach at all times paid off.

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

A lucky day, when turtle hatchlings were reported by a roadside and they turned out to be Blandings Turtles. There is a great story about how the Blandings turtle had to hold the sun in its mouth and that is why their chins are and bottom shell is yellow.

It had been years since I had seen Otters. Which sucks cause they are fun to watch. After a hike at "The Crack" in Killarney, we stopped for Fish chips and there the otters were just off the dock. Whole team waiting for Fish and Chips left overs.

I'm still waiting for a Blu-ray release of "Coo of the Far Seas" (1993).
There is an HD master, but it's only broadcast on television in Japan occasionally.

Our dogs were going crazy on a fall day years ago. Looking up into the neighbouring pine tree we saw why. A young black bear, looking for a way past all the barking dogs in our yards.

The most commonly shared Batman: The Animated Series art are the backgrounds, but I'd like to offer something similarly terrific: Its amazing array of goons.
