I've heard the phrase stock photo, but have never been sure just what it means. Is it something like you need a photo of wooden spoons, and this would work?

I love the textures of wood, which is probably why I have so much of it in my kitchen!

It is rather a bouquet, isn't it?

I also thought it looked a little bit like a forest.

You have a wonderful creative eye! It looks deceptively simple.

These spoons are under my kitchen cabinets, which also house the under the cabinet lights. It gives a lovely diffuse lighting. We used to have fluorescent bulbs there, but recently changed them to LED's, which should last a very long time.

I really appreciate your kind words!

There are tons of photo ops all around us! I love taking photos of "ordinary" things too.

There is often beauty in the so-called ordinary!

You just have to be able to see.
