Cups in color

Imagine that, I have scanned my cups (at least the three that I have done) yesterday, and was completely convinced that I have put them on. Instead I spent all my time trying to figure out why the Blog viewer counter does not work, and forgot to make a post. Arg... I still do not know why it does not work, but here are my cups.
