There are few smells that are more common to mankind than the smell of fresh baked bread.  But what attracted me to this image was the abstract design of how the bread was stacked for the customer to select from.

Beautiful shiny bell peppers 10 to 12 inches in length with the smell of mouth-watering freshness captured my vision to accent their abstract form.

The Italians eat the zucchini squash and the flower head.  They saute the flower with pasta and serve it drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
