These are also spoons, however the other sides, so they could very well be forks or knives ;-)
Have a great day everyone!

With the help of measuring spoons you always use exactly the right amount of ingredients during cooking and baking. This way you are always assured of a successful result, whatever dish you make!
I took this photo at one of the first beaches I used to visit for photography - Spoon Bay. It was also where I lost my first camera to the wave gods. It was also one of the first pics taken with my first Olympus micro 4/3 camera. Lots of firsts. Does the red algae in this photo remind anyone else of War of the World and the red weed?
Did you know that the algae in this shot married some weed? I hear their marriage is on the rocks now 😬 I heard the music at their wedding was quite interesting , all algae rhythms
Humpday here , happy Wednesday when it arrives wherever you are 😀

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.
E. M. Forster
As far as iconic pieces of public art go, none may be as daringly modern or whimsical as Minneapolis’ iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry.
This giant spoon and cherry was erected in 1985 by artist Claes Oldenburg and his wife, Coosje van Bruggen and is the centerpiece of the Walker Art Center’s Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the largest urban sculpture park in the world. Oldenburg is an artist who is known for making oversized versions of everyday objects and food products. Together with his wife he set up a number of public sculptures, including Chicago’s Batcolumn sculpture. The spoon was Oldenburg’s idea, who had a habit of doodling spoons ever since 1962 when he was inspired by a spoon resting on a piece of fake chocolate. The cherry in the piece was van Bruggen’s idea, wanting to use it as a comment on the garden’s otherwise staid layout.
The spoon itself weighs 5,800 pounds and the cherry, another 1,200 pounds. The cherry’s stem also acts as a fountain which sprays into the bowl of the spoon and off into the pond beneath. Even the pond itself has meaning, being shaped to resemble a linden seed, drawing attention to the rows of linden trees planted nearby.
The city of Minneapolis seems to have largely embraced the massive sculpture, expressing almost universal outrage when Spoonbridge and Cherry was vandalized in 2012 as part of a “Kony 2012” protest. The artwork was cleaned up and still remains as a somewhat goofy, definitely unforgettable icon of the Minnesota city.
Macro Mondays theme : broken
I dropped my little spoon
and it broke in two.
The little flower
has lost it power.
I tried to catch it with all my might,
but alas I captured it in sidelight.

Hidden at the back of a small workshop in an off the beaten track Cuban town I found this creative piece of art.
