Photos 4 and 3: Two Views of a Drinking Cup

D's family was going through a number of boxes. I was fascinated by this drinking cup that D's mum or dad took with them to school. It collapses into a disk about an inch high. This is a top view and a side view when it's expanded.

The view from my flight west was magical with all the blue sky and white snow.

The View From Home Plate in Winter


There's a baseball diamond in London's Thames Park, just past the swimming pool. It looks like a nice place for a game, with the river nearby. This is just as the sun was going down behind those houses on the hill, so I wonder if the sun is in the batter's eyes during evening games? Depends on the time I suppose. H&D would know for sure.
